About Anticognition
Anticognition, Instant, designed by Igor Kieryluk first released in Sep, 2020 in the set Zendikar Rising.
Anticognition would be beneficial in a control deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's game plan by countering key creature or planeswalker spells. While it provides a versatile option for early game disruption, more competitive decks may opt for more efficient counterspells like Mana Leak or Spell Pierce, which offer similar effects for the same cost without the graveyard condition. However, in a meta where graveyard strategies are prevalent, Anticognition could see play as a sideboard option for added flexibility.
Rules
