Can you counter spells after they're played in MTG?
Absolutely, countering spells is a core part of Magic The Gathering's strategic depth! You can do this by using counter spells like 'Counterspell' itself, 'Negate', or 'Dissolve'. Just remember, you need to have the counter spell ready in your hand and enough mana to cast it when your opponent plays their spell.

Yeah, countering spells is totally a thing. But timing is everything! You gotta play your counter spell in response to theirs, which means it has to be during the stack phase. If you miss that timing, say bye-bye to your chance to block their spell.
Nope, once it's on the table, it's too late. You gotta catch it in the air, metaphorically speaking. That means right after they play it and before it resolves.
