About Psychic Rebuttal

Psychic Rebuttal, Instant, designed by Todd Lockwood first released in Jul, 2015 in the set Magic Origins. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.

This card, Psychic Rebuttal, would benefit a control deck that aims to protect itself from targeted instant or sorcery spells. It can be particularly effective in a deck with a focus on instant and sorcery spells to trigger its spell mastery ability. While there may be other counterspells with different functionalities, Psychic Rebuttal's ability to potentially copy the countered spell can provide additional value and versatility in certain situations, making it a viable choice for inclusion in the right deck.

Rules

06/22/15

Check to see if there are two or more instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard as the spell resolves to determine whether the spell mastery ability applies. The spell itself won’t count because it’s still on the stack as you make this check.

06/22/15

If Psychic Rebuttal creates a copy of the spell, you control the copy. That copy is created on the stack, so it’s not “cast.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won’t trigger. The copy will then resolve like a normal spell, after players get a chance to cast spells and activate abilities.

06/22/15

If the copied spell is modal (that is, it says “Choose one –” or the like), the copy will have the same mode. You can’t choose a different one.

06/22/15

The target instant or sorcery spell can have other targets as long as one of them is you.

06/22/15

You can’t choose to pay any additional costs for the copy. However, effects based on any additional costs that were paid for the original spell are copied as though those same costs were paid for the copy too. For example, if a player sacrifices a 3/3 creature to cast Fling, and you copy it, the copy of Fling will also deal 3 damage to its target.
