White counterspells: do you run ‘em?
Basically title, I play a lot of white and I’ve been playing around with adding some white counters into my decks that don’t have access to blue.
Brother I’m here to tell you that the feeling of countering someone else’s counter or removal spell with a \[\[Lapse of Certainty\]\] is a high I will continue to chase forever. Not only do you get to resolve your thing (or stop someone else), it also basically skips their next draw.
I also run \[\[Rebuff the Wicked\]\] and have thought about \[\[Mana Tithe\]\] as well but they both are a bit more narrow.I also plan to put the new card \[\[Reprieve\]\] from LOTR (also: how is this a white card) into a couple decks, although technically it’s not a counter it effectively counters in many situations (and gets around “can’t be countered” spells like \[\[Dovin’s Veto\]\] )
So what about you all? Do you play with white counterspells in your non-blue decks? Do you think they’re good, or do you just do it for the surprise value because nobody sees it coming?
