Spectral Denial — Arcane Counterplay
Spectral Denial is a tight, efficient counterspell from Tarkir Dragonstorm that rewards a heavy board presence. Cast it for {X}{U} and it becomes cheaper as your powerful creatures join the field; each creature you control with power 4 or greater reduces the cost by {1}. Against tempo decks it converts board development into reactive reach and gives you a flexible way to protect your plan.
The printed effect reads Counter target spell unless its controller pays {X}. Use Spectral Denial to tax opposing removal or force awkward choices when they try to close a game. This Near Mint English copy is a practical pick for control leaning builds in limited and casual constructed play. Add it to your sideboard or main deck and keep an answer ready when opponents try to break through.
