About Anticognition

Anticognition, Instant, designed by Igor Kieryluk first released in Sep, 2020 in the set Zendikar Rising. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.04.

Anticognition would be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's game plan by countering key creature or planeswalker spells. While it provides a versatile option for early game disruption, more competitive decks may opt for more efficient counterspells like Mana Leak or Spell Pierce, which offer similar effects for the same cost without the graveyard condition. However, in a meta where graveyard strategies are prevalent, Anticognition could see play as a sideboard option for added flexibility.

Rules

Anticognition can target a spell that can’t be countered. You’ll still scry 2 if an opponent has eight or more cards in their graveyard.

09/25/20

If an opponent has eight or more cards in their graveyard, Anticognition can still target only a creature or planeswalker spell.

09/25/20

In a multiplayer game, once an opponent leaves the game, they won’t be considered for such an effect, no matter how many cards they had in their graveyard before leaving the game.
