Flashing in Destiny Spinner

Asked by Enral 4 years ago

I play a creature spell and my opponent Counterspells it. Can I flash in Destiny Spinner in response to basically fizzle the Counterspell?

Let's start by clearing up the terminology used here. You play some creature, and your opponent casts some kind of spell says "counter target spell" or something to that effect, right?

If that is the case, then you're almost correct. Assuming you have the ability to cast Destiny Spinner at instant speed, your creature would not be countered if the Spinner is on the field when the counter going to resolve; however, the counterspell does not fizzle. If the counter spell does something else as well as counter, such as Sinister Sabotage, your opponent still gets that effect. You have not made your creature spell an illegal target. Rather, you made it so that at least part of the spell doesn't do anything.
