What it does
Counter target spell unless its controller pays X mana. If that spell is countered this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard.
The fire spell stuttered and broke. Its pieces reached Teferi out of rhythm, meaningless.

Where it came from
Syncopate was originally released in the Odyssey expansion in 2001, but the version from Dominaria (2018) reimagines the card within the narrative context of Magic: The Gathering’s history. It functions as a counterspell that exiles the targeted card, representing a moment of precise, rhythmic disruption in a magical duel. Its mechanics are designed to punish opponents who play spells without sufficient mana to pay the additional cost, reflecting the card's theme of catching an opponent off-beat.
The artwork for this particular iteration was crafted by artist Magali Villeneuve, who is known for her evocative depictions of high fantasy characters and environments. In this piece, she aims to capture the fluidity and kinetic energy of blue mana as it interrupts the flow of another spell. The illustration was well-received by the player community for its polished aesthetic and its successful integration into the visual identity of the Dominaria set, which focused on nostalgia and the return to the game’s original plane.
