Ruilings on card warning.
Asked by Bobby654 4 years ago
I'm asking this for a friend. He played way early in magic's history,left for a bit then came back in. He flipped up the card Kadena's Silencer and got into an arguement with this son about his effect. Was the father correct that it could stop trample and buy him one extra turn or was the son right and trample was not touched?

Static abilities such as trample can not be countered. "Counter" specifically means to remove from the stack and trample does not use the stack.
701.5a To counter a spell or ability means to cancel it, removing it from the stack. It doesn’t resolve and none of its effects occur. A countered spell is put into its owner’s graveyard.
