Rulings (3)
- Spells with a side effect that only happens if a spell is countered do not have their side effect happen when the countering fails.
- Side-effects of spells that would counter this card will still happen, because they happen even if the spell they’re trying to counter can’t be countered.
- Spells can target Scragnoth and affect it while it is on the stack. Only effects that counter spells are ignored.
