Counterpoint — Riposte from the Grave
Counterpoint is a practical answer in the midgame. It functions first as a hard counter then retools the exchange by letting you cast a spell from your graveyard so long as its mana value does not exceed that of the countered spell. Play it after a clutch removal or a big threat to swing tempo back to your side while recycling a key piece of your plan.
The card fits into blue black strategies that care about interaction and value. Use it to protect a board position or to deny an opposing combo while recovering a creature or planeswalker that closed earlier lines of play. The printed text is straightforward and precise so it reads well across play groups and judges during tense Commander rounds.
