About Counterlash

Counterlash, Instant, designed by Austin Hsu first released in Feb, 2012 in the set Dark Ascension and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.37.

A control deck that focuses on countering opponent's spells and taking advantage of free spell casts would benefit from using Counterlash. This card can be particularly strong in a deck that runs a variety of card types to maximize its potential. While there may be other cards with similar effects like Epic Experiment or Spelltwine, Counterlash's ability to counter a spell before casting a free spell makes it a unique and powerful option that could definitely see play in the right deck.
