I like the fake out. Where you let them cast the creature spell, then immediately bounce it to their hand when they swing at you.

[CAMPBELLOBK]

Casts cryptic command and only chooses to counter.

[LordBingus]

"I concede"

*"I counter it"*

[MrFForger]

Yeah nah, I understand the blue guy: anyone unironically playing One With Nothing is someone to be feared.

[thomasfriedlander]

I like how a lot of the counters mirror the art of the spell they're countering.

[ReaperofKings]

That's why when I verse any deck with blue I say "I attempt to cast" as everyone at the table looks at the person with blue mana untapped

[sefisyara]

"I play a basic Forest for the tur-"
"I counter it."

[keganvanzylldejong]

I see how nobody realized that the foil Yargle was countered by foil. so the foil yargle was foiled.

[drearydoll]

Reminds me of when I was new to the game and really did think i could have fun with my orzov deck against blue.

[songarakram]

We wouldn't need these counter decks if all the other players would just stop DOING stuff!

[AidanWR]

Good thing he countered the handshake. Could have been a dangerous handshake in these times

[Schlaym]

The way I described it was one player trying to announce what they do, with the other immediately screaming 'NOOOO!!!', violently slapping the cards out of the other person's hand and absolutely refusing to actually play the game.

[GellyVelly]

In all for realness. I would LOVE if we just straight up cut blue all together. Four colours is more than enough.

[EveMizgala]

Pact of Negation on a suicidal Lightning Bolt is a truly inspired play.

[jaggededge]

"Do you pay the 1?" "Doesn't matter, because I'll counter it!"

[yscg-]

Nothing beats the true mind game of bouncing it after they cast it
THEN you counter it when they replay it

[ctlraltdestroy]

Countering the foil Yargle with a Foil was amusing.

[jankasmann]

Juuudge:
"is a hand really a noncreature spell?!"

[NerdyEarly]

I've not literally Lol'd at a short in a very long time. But countering that bolt, followed by drawing a card made me actually giggle like Ron Swanson

[Draqson]

"Should we play at this table?" - "No, at that counter"
