About Counterbore

Counterbore, Instant, designed by Wayne England first released in May, 2020 in the set Shadowmoor and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.25.

Counterbore would be a powerful addition to control decks in Magic: the Gathering, especially in formats where combo decks are prevalent. While it offers a unique and potentially devastating effect, it may be too situational and expensive to see widespread play compared to more versatile counterspells like Counterspell or Force of Will. However, in the right meta, Counterbore could be a game-changing tool for shutting down key combo pieces and disrupting opponents' strategies.

Rules

05/01/08

Counterbore has no effect on cards on the battlefield that have the same name as the targeted spell.

05/01/08

If the targeted spell can’t be countered (it’s Vexing Shusher, for example), that spell will remain on the stack. Counterbore will continue to resolve. You still get to search for and exile all other cards with that name.

05/01/08

In most cases, Counterbore will exile the targeted spell. Its first sentence counters the spell, which puts it into its owner’s graveyard. Its second sentence then removes it from the graveyard. However, there are some exceptions to this, as listed below.
