Rationale
1cmc instant that counters target activated or triggered ability (mana abilities excepted). Premier tempo/control interaction shutting down manlands, fetchlands, combo engines, and ETB/death triggers. Signature in control/stax shells where it disrupts opp's plans while advancing tempo. Conditional on abilities existing, and high-value target for removal once key threat is stopped.
