About Countervailing Winds

Countervailing Winds, Instant, designed by Tyler Jacobson first released in Jul, 2017 in the set Hour of Devastation and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 6.37.

This card, Countervailing Winds, would be beneficial in a control deck that aims to fill up its graveyard quickly with cards like Thought Scour or Mental Note. It can be an effective way to disrupt your opponent's spells while also cycling for more options when needed. However, in competitive Magic: the Gathering, there are stronger counterspells available like Mana Leak or Cryptic Command that offer more versatility and reliability, so Countervailing Winds may not see much play in top-tier decks.

Rules

07/14/17

Count the number of cards in your graveyard as Countervailing Winds resolves to determine how much mana the controller of the target spell must pay to avoid the spell being countered. Countervailing Winds is still on the stack at this time and won’t count toward this number.
