Can I Counterspell Abilities in MTG?
Not all counterspells can hit abilities, so read your cards carefully! 'Counterspell' itself? Nope, only spells. But there's plenty out there that can stop abilities in their tracks.

Yep, you can totally counterspell abilities in Magic The Gathering, but not with just any counterspell. You'll need specific cards that say they can target abilities, not just spells. Cards like 'Disallow' or 'Stifle' are your go-to for shutting down those pesky abilities.
Hot take: Countering abilities is overrated. Focus on board control!
