Unable to Counter a Blitz ability
Playing as Mono-U in Standard against Mono-B last night. I had mana open to cast Essence Capture. He cast Tenacious Underdog using its Blitz ability from his graveyard. However, I was not given the option to counter it - it simply entered the battlefield. The oracle text for Blitz reads "If you choose to pay the blitz cost rather than the mana cost, you're still casting the spell. It goes on the stack and can be responded to and countered".
I think this is a bug, as I should have been able to counter it??
