Refute — Quick Counter, Thoughtful Draw
Refute is a compact instant that gives blue decks a reliable way to deny a key spell while smoothing your hand. Cast for {1}{U}{U}, it simply says Counter target spell then replace one card with another by drawing a card and discarding a card. The printed wording is straightforward and plays cleanly with interaction and selection, which makes it efficient in control, tempo, and midrange shells alike.
In play the foil treatment from the Foundations set helps this Near Mint card stand out in sleeve and on camera. The effect reads like a short lesson in resource management: stop an opponent and set up your next turn. Experienced players will appreciate how Refute fits into counterspell chains, how it enables graveyard synergies when you discard intentionally, and how it trades tempo for card advantage in tight lines. Add it to your sideboard or main deck and keep your answers both precise and flexible.
