Snare the Spell
Geistlight Snare is a compact, tactical counterspell that rewards a deck built around spirits or enchantments. The card name signals its role clearly; you pay {2}{U} to keep a reactive line in blue and often pay less when your board state supports it. In matches that lean long or grindy, the conditional cost reductions let you preserve resources while still answering key threats.
The printed text on Geistlight Snare makes the play pattern obvious. You either hold priority to protect a tempo swing or use it as a tax on opposing spells when you have a spirit or an enchantment in play. Innistrad flavor is present in the flavor text and the artwork that shows a contained geist in a lantern. Add this Light Play copy to a deck that can reliably produce spirits or stick enchantments and expect efficient interaction that scales with your board plan.
