'''Counter''' is a term with several different meanings.
==Trivia==
 
{{card|Ambiguity}} is an [[Acorn card]] that plays on the ambiguity of this term.
==Counters On Cards==
A card can be used to represent a different effects on a card, especially those that last beyond the current turn.  Examples include +1/+1 counters, charge counters, and time counters.
 
==Countering Spells==
Certain spells and abilities can "counter target spell" (or similiar effects).  A spell can also be countered if it no longer has any legal targets when it tries to resolve.
 
A spell that is countered is put into the [[graveyard]] instead of doing its effect.  It is essentially negated.
 
==Countering Threats==
Countering can also refer to how a player deals with the cards played by their opponent.
 
For example, an opponent plays a creature spell.  You must deal with this creature or it will probably eventually cause you to lose the game.  You can counter it with a [[counterspell]], counter it by using a [[removal]] spell on it, or counter it by playing a [[creature]] of your own. Once you have done some response to an opponent's play, you have "countered" their [[threat]].
