In Magic The Gathering, a 'counter spell' is essentially a type of spell that's used to cancel or negate another spell as it's being cast. So, if your opponent tries to play a spell that could really mess up your game plan, you can play a counter spell to stop it in its tracks, provided you have the mana and the counter spell in your hand. It's like saying 'Nope, not today' to your opponent's moves!

Counter spells? Overrated and ruin the fun. Just let people play their cards, geez.

Basically, think of it as the 'talk to the hand' gesture in Magic The Gathering. When someone tries to cast a spell, slapping down a counter spell is your way of shutting it down before it can have any effect. It's a powerful tool for control decks.
