Lofty Denial⁣ - Core 2021⁣ (Common)⁣ [56]

Lofty Denial counters a target spell unless its controller pays {1}, but if you control a creature with flying, the cost increases to {4}. This makes it an effective counterspell in decks that utilise flying creatures, as it can significantly hinder your opponent's strategy while maintaining your own board state. However, it can be less effective against decks that don’t rely on casting multiple spells in a turn.
