<p>Can you use a [[[Counterspell]]] or the like to counter the tap ability or mana ability of a creature? For example, let's say a [[[Prodigal Sorcerer]]] is going to tap and deal one damage to you and you have 1 life left, can you counterspell that?</p> <p>[[Counterspell]] [[Prodigal Sorcerer]]</p>

<p>Once, life was simple. UU would mean "counter target spell", pure and simple. Do you think Wizards should bring Counterspell?</p> <p><img src="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=185820&amp;type=card" alt="alt text" /></p>

<p>If you cast a lightning bolt, and your opponents tries to counter it, can you redirect counterspell to target itself?</p> <p>[[deflection]] [[counterspell]]</p> <p>(Even if not, you can always redirect it to counter the deflection, but I'm still curious if it can counter itself).</p>

<p>Or, in other words, does exiling a spell (from the stack) counts as countering it?</p> <p>[[Lullmage Mentor]] [[Mindbreak Trap]]</p>

<p>Well, can it? I believe that when you play the creature, it's counted as a spell, and not yet as a blue-protected creature which you can't hit with blue spells. </p> <p>That's the reason why Great Sable Stag mentions 'can't be countered' in addition to blue-protection, right?</p> <p><img src="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=193759&amp;type=card" alt="alt text" /></p>
