Counter target spell Instant cards doesent counter targeted spell
I was playing Ranked with my deck All Blue and in two ocations my cards that counter spells didnt counter at all. More over they trigger oddly: there were instants, and when i play them, they make me target the spell (that never happen before) and when i oddly target the image of the card that was visually blocked by my card and the legend <Are you sure you whant to target xx with xx?> (that never happen before) and i click YES; The spell was not countered that way and enters play and resolves. The cards i encounter this problem in the log play that attached to this BUg Report was Disdainful Stroke and Adventure spell Hypnotic Sprite.

just lost a match because of this, absolutely critical bug in my opinion.
the fact it's still in the game 4 years later is worrying. -

I have the same problem. Counter target creature spell ask me if I'm sure and if I confirm I just loose my card and no effect.

Hi, i play a Black-Blue control deck, and this happend to me more than one time in one game, countering creatures or instants with specific instants or with generic cards that counter any spells

Hi, that did happen to me with Urza's Rebuff trying to counter Eternal Wanderer. Same message about are you sure and then counter goes to the graveyard without effect.

this has been happening to me as well, with Flip The Switch, and Syncopate. I get the weird, out-of-place "are you sure you want to target [[card name]]" that usually happens when you make a illegal or sub-optimal target, and when the counter spell resolved, the opponent's spell resolved normally and my counter spell was sent to graveyard...
vital bug! please fix! -

Happened to me with Dissipate. Has happened with other cards as well like Saw it Coming. These types of bugs are more than annoying. Which is why it's better to play paper at your LGS.

Same thing has been happening with “disruption protocol” for me. It won’t counter spells half the time with no activated abilities stopping it from happening. I’ve lost 4 matches now because of this and it’s annoying I lose because counter spells. Just noting that my opponents counter spells always work on me.

I believe this just happened to me, or I am missing something. I countered a spell with Make Disappear, the opponent paid 2 and then I used another Make Disappear on the same spell, but the original spell resolved without the opponent having to pay yet another 2 mana.

Had this just happen to me too, and has happened multiple times in the past week of playing.

This just happened to me with Make Disappear. It asked me to target the spell I wanted to counter (the only spell on the stack) and asked me [Are you sure?] and when I clicked yes it did nothing and the original spell resolved. This has happened multiple times with different counterspells.

I just finished a game where I fortold the card Saw it Coming. I played it against my opponent's 4 drop and it asked if I was sure i wanted to counter it. I said yes and it didn't counter the spell but my counterspell was discarded. The card did not have anything saying it couldn't be countered and I didn't see any similar effects on the board. Later I was able to flash back Saw it Coming and play it against a Mind Flayer and it asked me the same thing again. Just like before my counterspell went to the graveyard but their creature came into play.

Just had this happen twice in one day. Once with Test of Talents and once with Negate. I'm stopping using that deck for a while.

I’ve had this problem numerous times with syncopate and other counter spells where it asks “are you sure” and then it doesn’t counter. It’s infuriating. My counter literally says “counter an instant or sorcery” the other player plays one, I counter and it doesn’t work. Had same issue countering many creature spells with syncopate. Please fix bugs!

I experience the same problem When I try to counter a spell, and I get the dialog to "Choose target spell," I choose the spell and it still completes. Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this issue, but it extremely annoying.

I lost two games tonight due to "You find the Villains Lair" having this same bug.

Same thing happened to me three different times in two games. Negate was countering a destroy creature spell from my opponent and it asked "are you sure." Yes I don't want my creature to die, so i said yes. The next turn went the same way as I had another creature in hand. Maybe because it was a token creature created by a sorcery is what the most definite BUG was?
