Syncopate⁣ - Mystery Booster⁣ (Common)⁣ [67]

Syncopate is an instant from The List that counters a target spell unless its controller pays {X}, exiling it instead of sending it to the graveyard if countered. This flexibility makes it a strategic choice in control decks, allowing you to manage threats while also denying resources to your opponent. Ideal for blue decks that want to disrupt their opponent's game plan, it can scale with the game, providing both early and late-game utility.
