Aihe: Mitä tekee ja mikä on "Counter"?

[NESKOLA]

Onko totta tälläinen tilanne:
pelaaja 1 (3 lifeä) pelaa Rift Boltin
pelaaja 2 (3 lifeä myös) vastaa siihen Cancel ja Cancel countteroi eli palauttaa joten p 2 voittaa?

eli suomeksi palauttaako vai kumoaako counter targetspell ability

Counterilla on kaksi merkitystä Magicissä, ja tässä tapauksessa on kyseessä loitsun peruuttaminen eli sen poistaminen stackista ja laittaminen graveyardille. Kumpikaan ei siis voita, jos Rift Boltiin pelataan Cancel. Loitsun kohteen muuttamiseen tarvitset Shuntin kaltaista efektiä.

Suosittelen myös kirjoitusasun ja hymiöiden käyttämisen erikoistarkkailua jatkossa.

Counter
Counter has two meanings in the Magic game.
     1. To counter a spell or ability is to cancel it, removing it from the stack. It doesn’t resolve and none of its effects occur. A countered spell is put into its owner’s graveyard. See rule 414, “Countering Spells and Abilities.”
     2. A counter is a marker placed on an object, either modifying its characteristics or interacting with an effect. A +X/+Y counter on a permanent, where X and Y are numbers, adds X to that permanent’s power and Y to that permanent’s toughness. These bonuses are added after permanent-type changing effects and after most other power and toughness changing effects. Similarly, -X/-Y counters subtract from power and toughness. See rule 418.5a. Counters with the same name or description are interchangeable. Counters may also be given to players. For information about poison counters, see rule 102.3d.
     If a permanent has both a +1/+1 counter and a -1/-1 counter on it, N +1/+1 and N -1/-1 counters are removed from it, where N is the smaller of the number of +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters on it. This is a state-based effect; see rule 420.5n.
