Back in the day, an interrupt was a type of spell in MTG that you could sling during your opponent's turn, kinda like casting a lightning-fast counter when they least expected it. However, interrupts got the boot in the game's rules overhaul way back in 1999, merging into what we now know as 'instant' spells. So, if you're flipping through some vintage cards and spot an 'interrupt,' just think of it as the old-school cousin of today's instants!

Interrupts? They're ancient history! Nowadays, everything that was an interrupt is just an instant. Keep it simple.

Used to play back in the '90s and interrupts were all the rage. You could stop your opponent's spell in its tracks, felt like a real power move. They've changed it to instants now, but the thrill of stopping your opponent cold? That's timeless.
