Wan Shi Tong, Librarian cannot be counter by Spell Snare
Wan Shi Tong, Librarian cannot be counter by Spell Snare.
Wan Shi Tong, Librarian has a mana cost of (X)(U(U). This should mean that the card has a converted mana cost of (2).
Spell Snare counters a spell with a converted mana cost of 2. However, several times during a game I played on 3/8/26, I should have been given the opportunity to cast my Spell Snare since there being nothing legally preventing me from countering my opponent's Wan Shi Tong, Librarian. However, I did not have the opportunity to cast it. This caused me to lose my match.

In a player's hand, on the battlefield, or in any other zone but the stack, Wan Shi Tong has CMC 2.
But on the stack the CMC is determined by the value of X the spell is being cast for. Is X anything other than 0? Then the CMC on the stack isn't 2, and Spell Snare can't target it.
