About Second Guess

Second Guess, Instant, designed by Karl Kopinski first released in May, 2012 in the set Avacyn Restored. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.37.

A control deck that aims to disrupt the opponent's game plan by countering key spells would benefit from including Second Guess in its deck. While Second Guess can be effective in certain situations, there are generally better options available such as Mana Leak or Remand, which offer more versatility and reliability. However, in a specific meta where the second spell cast is crucial, Second Guess could see play as a situational tech card.

Rules

05/01/12

Most spells and abilities that copy a spell create that copy on the stack. These copies are not cast and won’t count toward the number of spells cast that turn. However, a few (like Isochron Scepter’s ability) instruct you to copy a spell and “cast the copy.” These spells are cast and will count toward the number of spells cast that turn.

05/01/12

Second Guess can’t be cast unless the spell it targets is the second spell cast this turn.
