Counterpoint: Graveyard Reprise
Counterpoint is an instant that trades disruption for recouped value. Cast it to counter a target spell and then evaluate what your graveyard holds. You can immediately recast a creature, instant, sorcery or planeswalker from your graveyard whose mana value is less than or equal to the countered spell without paying its mana cost. This plays cleanly in control shells that want to turn a dead card into a tempo swing.
In the context of Karlov Manor the card reads like a calculated retort. It fits as a reactive option in a deck that keeps a stocked yard and prioritizes value over raw speed. Think of it as a way to convert an opponent trade into an extra threat or a kicker for late game inevitability.
