Can Ninjutsu be Countered in MTG?
Actually, ninjutsu itself can't be "countered" in the traditional sense since it's an activated ability, not a spell. You need cards that counter abilities, not spells. So no, tossing a "Counterspell" at a ninjutsu move won't do anything except waste your card.

Nope, can't do it. Ninjutsu outplays counterspells, gotta love those ninjas.
Yup, you can totally counter ninjutsu in MTG, but not with a regular "counter spell" type of deal since ninjutsu isn't a spell鈥攊t's an ability. You'd need something that specifically says it can counter abilities. Cards like "Stifle" or "Trickbind" are your go-tos for shutting down those sneaky ninjas.
From experience, best way to stop ninjutsu? Don't let their unblocked attackers get through. No unblocked attacker, no ninjutsu. Simple as that. It's more about board control than countering.
