Countering objects on the stack/Countering the uncounterable
Asked by pedroedmarcos 5 years ago
Hey there,
So, since WAR's is coming up soon Dovin's Veto's which is an "cannot be countered" Negate got my attention. Is there anything that holds my opponent from countering the samespell twice? Per example:
I cast: Jace, the Mind Sculptor My opponent casts: Negate I Cast: Dovin's Veto My opponent casts Pact of Negation targeting Jace on the stack.
Is this fine right?
Yes, your opponent can target the same spell more than once for countering if they have enough counterspells. It's still a valid target, after all, since it's still on the stack. They could also target Dovin's Veto if they really wanted, but it wouldn't do anything when it resolved (kind of like casting Murder on a creature with indestructible).
What happens is that unless you have another way to counter Pact of Negation , as the top card of the stack it will resolve, countering Jace, the Mind Sculptor . Then the next spell, Dovin's Veto , will resolve, countering Negate and leaving an empty stack behind.

Since Pact of Negation is on top of the stick it will counter the next spell on the stack, which is Jace, the Mind Sculptor . Both other counter spells will be countered afterwards since the original Target is now gone.
