Item Condition
Magic: The Gathering single: Counterspell, from Tempest. Our grade: Lightly Played or better. Pictured: this printing of the card. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.
Item Description
Ertai, the gifted and famously arrogant young wizard of the Weatherlight crew, gets the last word on this card: "It was probably a lousy spell in the first place." It is the perfect caption for Counterspell, a card that has been dismissing opponents' best plays with two blue mana since Magic began.
Tempest launched the Rath storyline and the Weatherlight saga in 1997, at a time when Counterspell was the heart of the draw-go control decks that defined blue for years: pass the turn with mana open, counter whatever matters, and win slowly once the opponent runs out of gas. The card's rules have never needed an update. Counter target spell, no conditions, no exceptions, which is why it still earns a slot in Commander control decks, cubes and casual blue builds today.
This is the Tempest printing, collector number 57, a non-foil common illustrated by Stephen Daniele, carrying Ertai's quote in its flavor box. For players who came up in the late-'90s era, it is a direct line back to the Weatherlight story; for everyone else, it is simply the classic counterspell in a classic frame.
