Counter spells are a key part of MTG strategy, and yes, they can absolutely counter instants. I've turned many games around by cleverly timing my counter spells. It feels like you're saying 'Nope, not today!' to your opponent.

Yup, you can. Just throw down a counter spell when they cast an instant. Easy peasy.

Absolutely! Counter spells are your best friend when it comes to stopping those pesky instants. Just make sure you have a counter spell in hand and the mana to cast it. Timing is everything, so wait for your opponent to cast their instant, then BAM! Hit them with your counter.
