Can I counter a summon in MTG?
Absolutely! In Magic The Gathering, countering a summon (more accurately, countering a creature spell) is a fundamental part of gameplay. You use instant spells like "Counterspell" or "Mana Leak" that specifically state they can counter target spell. When your opponent casts a creature spell, and you've got one of these counter spells in hand (and enough mana to cast it), you can play your counter spell in response. If it resolves, their creature spell gets tossed into the graveyard instead of hitting the battlefield. Timing and strategic use of these counters can swing the game in your favor!

Nah, countering is overrated. Better to focus on your own game plan.
I've been playing MTG for years and let me tell you, countering creature spells can totally demoralize your opponent. There's nothing like the look on their face when they try to bring out their big, game-ending creature, and you just casually toss a "Dissolve" their way. Countering isn't just about stopping a creature; it's about taking control of the game's pace and making your opponent second-guess every move.
Yep, just use a counter spell when they try to summon. Easy game, easy life.
