Countering spells

Certain spells and abilities can "counter target spell" (or similar effects). Counter in this sense is a keyword action. 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.
