Unable to use force of negation to counter a counterspell? (another force of negation)
For whatever reason, there is a glitch in the game where you are unable to use counterspells in certain situations. This has happened to me TWICE now in ranked matches. The first time, was against a mono green deck when my opponent tried to cast a one cost creature that taps for mana on turn two. The second time, just happened when I tried to play taferi, towards the end of the game, and I was unable to play it for it's 0 cost ability, even though my opponent didn't have anything to prevent counterspells, and was immediatly able to play it on my opponents turn. I understand counterspells can be annoying, but I am not understanding how people are able to bypass counterspells without the effects to do so. As it seems to be an issue brought forward by other players as well.

New file on update on issue with force of will. Three different counter spells, three different instances, three different times I should have been able to play it. Either people are hacking, or there is some kind of oversight in the game mechanics. First, was essence scatter against a green creature, second was force of negation against an artifact, and now force of will against an artifact.

@Rakso#84209 The first time was a different spell I was using essence scatter, when I used force of negation it was against an enchantment spell, Just now, I was unable to counter spell using force of will targeting an artifact. There where no "you cannot counter effects" in play at the time.

"Counter target noncreature spell". Force of Negation does not work on creatures.
"If its not your turn, you may exile a blue card..." You can onyl pitch-cast Force of Negation in your opponents turn, during your turn you have to pay mana.
