Can you counter the Buyback in MTG?
Yep, counter it and watch the sadness in your opponent's eyes. Buyback is cool and all, until it hits the graveyard. Then it's just another spell that didn't make it.

Absolutely, you can counter a spell with Buyback just like any other spell in Magic The Gathering. When you counter it, the spell doesn't resolve, so the Buyback effect doesn't happen either, meaning it goes straight to the graveyard instead of going back to the caster's hand. However, remember you're countering the spell itself, not the Buyback ability specifically.
Nope, countering it doesn't stop the Buyback. You counter the spell, Buyback still triggers. It's like trying to stop a train by yelling at it.
