About Double Negative

Double Negative, Instant, designed by Paolo Parente first released in Apr, 2009 in the set Alara Reborn. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 40.36.

Double Negative would be a valuable addition to control decks in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides the ability to counter up to two target spells for a relatively low cost. While it can be effective in certain situations, more versatile and efficient counterspells like Counterspell or Cryptic Command may be better options for competitive play due to their broader applications and flexibility. Double Negative could still see play in specific metagames where countering multiple spells is crucial, but overall, it may not be a staple in most decks.

Rules

05/01/09

It’s unusual for a player to cast a spell in response to their own spell, and that will be specifically called out when it happens. Under normal circumstances, if a player casts a spell, it is assumed that the player passes priority afterward. If that player casts another spell, it is assumed that each other player has also passed priority, which caused the first spell to resolve and the first player to receive priority again. Unless the first player says otherwise, only one spell will be on the stack at a time in that scenario.

05/01/09

You may cast Double Negative with no targets, one target, or two targets.
