Can you cast a counter without a target in MTG?
Nope, you can't cast a counter spell without a valid target in Magic The Gathering. Counter spells need something to counter, like a spell your opponent is casting. It's like trying to catch a ball that nobody threw. Not gonna happen!

Absolutely not. Counterspells target and 'counter' something specific, typically a spell or ability on the stack. No target, no counter.
Hot take: trying to cast a counter without a target is like bringing a knife to a gunfight and then realizing you left the knife at home. Pointless.
You definitely need a target. It's all about timing and choosing the right moment to play your counter spell when your opponent casts theirs. No target, no play.
