About Counterintelligence
Counterintelligence, Sorcery, designed by Wang Feng first released in May, 1999 in the set Portal Three Kingdoms. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 7.88.
Counterintelligence would be a valuable addition to a control deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides a way to disrupt your opponent's board state by returning their creatures to their hand. However, there are more efficient options like Cryptic Command, which offers additional versatility with its modes and can also counter spells if needed. While Counterintelligence may not be a top-tier card, it could still see play in certain metagames or as a budget alternative in decks looking for creature bounce effects.
