Counterpoint — Riposte from the Grave
Counterpoint is a reactive tool for players who want disruption that turns into advantage. The card replaces a single counter with a second play by letting you cast a creature, instant, sorcery, or planeswalker from your graveyard with mana value less than or equal to the targeted spell. In practice this lets you protect your board while retrieving a key piece from your yard that fits the moment.
Use Counterpoint in midrange or control shells that generate value in the graveyard. The card rewards careful sequencing and stack play. Cast it on a threatening opponent spell and follow up by reanimating a threat or resolving a removal that changes the game state. The extended art frames that duel of wits and firearms in Karlov Manor style which helps it feel at home in commander lists that lean into political plays and slow attrition.
