Memory Lapse

Instant, 1U (2)

Counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, put it on top of its owner's library instead of into that player's graveyard.

Gatherer Card Rulings?, Legality?

• 10/4/2004: The card does not go to the graveyard before being put on the library.
• 10/4/2004: This card has a self replacement. This means that it replaces going to the graveyard before any other effect can replace that event. If Flashback is applied, however, Flashback will change the destination.
• 10/4/2004: If the spell is not countered (because the spell it targets can't be countered), then it does not go to its owner's library.
