These Counterspells Can Counter ANYTHING, No Questions Asked! | Magic: the Gathering

I mean technically not ANYTHING - only spells 😏

How is Mana Drain not easily #1?

Counterflux probably shouldn't be on this list since it is a conditional counterspell like negate. If a situation arises where I need to hold priority to counter my own spell, this cannot be used. In the spirit of the video though, it makes sense to be in it.

Truly, the spookiest of spells.

Top ten sideboard?

wait wait. hold on... give me a split second.

One of the most predictable top tens yet. That said i love the OG Counterspell art.

Let's face it, we all know what will be #1 on this list.



STORM CROW FOREVER

My top 3 prediction:
3. Pact of Negation
2. Counterspell
1. Force of Will

Also, NOTC needs to put both Counterspell and Force of Will back in standard unless they want the game to become Yugioh 🤢

Top ten cards that have never been reprinted

How many points does No More Lies have?

How about top ten cards with 5 or less words of rules text?

I LOVE Counterflux. Feels very safe, relatively cheap, and the art is awesome. "Steampunk-y Izzet mage doing a cool pose" is one of my favorite types of art.

Ayo I love my vintage tees from Into the AM I picked up last Black Friday because of your ad lol

when MTG first came out did they tell you in the rulebook what counterspell did, how else would you know what that meant ?

Force of Will's point total has me wondering, "Aside from basic lands, what are the top cards ever?" FoW is Power 9 level but still legal, and the Power 9 are banned or restricted, so what's out there?

All the comments saying that Wizards will print something that power creeps FoW out of the game are obviously not paying attention to anything Wizards says about bans.

Lack ofo Force of Negation on the list is suprising. Is it considered,,not hard enough"?

So since 2 is counterspell and 1 is force of will my guess for number 3 would be Mana Drain. Only being legal in vintage and not being free is rough but surely it's broken enough to get a podium spot.

A prediction like "for the rest of eternity" may SOUND bold ... but I think everyone will agree 😆

It wouldn't be a true Nizzahon video without and *correction popping up somewhere 😊

Surprised Mindbreak Trap or Summary Dismissal haven't made the list. Did those spells actually not have big enough numbers or did you ignore them because the word "counter" isn't explicitly on them? If the latter is the case, I would argue that if Dissipate makes the list those cards should too, since they're functionally counters and they're even stronger than regular ones thanks to being able to get around uncounterable spells.

"For the rest of eternity" was an awesome way to wrap up FoW commentary!

What is force of will.

Now this is a list I can get behind, because let's face it, #1 is absolutely on "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)", in fact, it's probably the #1 on that too!

For next April 1st, you should do "Top Ten Top Ten Lists with Force of Will at Number One"

"For the rest of eternity," literally killed me.

Negate is a hard counter. It is also a conditional counter. A hard counter counters its target with no recourse within the card, while a soft counter allows for a situation where its target can resolve. An unconditional counter can target any spell, a conditional one has conditions on what spells it can target. Personally, I refer to things like remand and lapse of certainty as firm counters. They do their thing, but they don’t completely remove the spell.

Vis a vis Absorb: it's funny how much people dunk on Healing Salve (rightfully) and yet tacking Healing Salve onto other cards is legitimate upside (Lightning Helix being another example). Showcases just how important card advantage is.

I'd be interested to see if Three Steps Ahead makes its way on to this list in the future

Nice list :D what about both top 10 of non-hard counters and, inf there are enough, the "non instant counters"?

Top 10 non-blue counterspells? Unless that’s already a video

No Undermine? That is the coolest counterspell by far.

Number 2 and 1 were really obvious, but I am surprised Absorb made it but Undermine didn't. I guess I am out of the loop.

Top Ten Basic Land Types!

I can foresee a time when Wizards prints a card so insane, it passes Force of Will.

They gotta keep power creeping the game for more doubling profits every year.

I LOVE Counterflux!

Inb4 counterspell gets reprinted in foundations and it’s suddenly in standard for 5 years :D

Number 2 and 1 was obvious to me supriced no force of negation expected it to be 3rd/4th

I don't think the cards you keep saying will stay at number for eternity really well. I think by modern horizons 7 we'll probably have a strictly better version.

Power Sink. One blue plus X. Counter spell, if defender doesn't pay X EMPTY THEIR MANA POOL!
Best counter ever.
I can't believe youissef this. 🤯

You should have made this one of your Spooky Top Tens, since nothing is more frightening than two untapped Islands.

Nope. Next ad like that will be an unsubscribe. I get it, and good luck, but nope.

I'm surprised Flare of Denial hasn't already made it on the list. I wonder how close it was

i wanna see more pauper content!! love me some powerful commons!!

top 10 relentless rats

As an old head, it baffles me that stuff like dark ritual and counterspell were decided to be too powerful yet now we get 1 drops with paragraphs printed on them and turn 2 lethal in standard.

Oh so Force of Will is 1, and Counterspell 2, so I'm gonna guess 3rd of....Pact of Negation?

Edit:

































one, two, and four, not bad.

Going in: so help me if Counterspell isn't number 1
...
...
...
...
Going out: I rly thought having access to more formats would have pushed Counterspell over FoW

Wow, I'm actually first. Might I recommend "Top 10 cards from older sets that still see play" or "top 10 creatures that survived power creep?"
