Hindering Light

Instant, WU (2)

Counter target spell that targets you or a permanent you control.

Draw a card.

Centuries of careful practice have elevated the casting of protective spells to an art form. What little offensive magic remains on Bant stands little chance of breaching them.

• 10/1/2008: Hindering Light can target a spell that has multiple targets, as long as at least one of those targets is you or a permanent you control.
• 10/1/2008: You may choose to target a spell that "can't be countered." If you do, the first part of Hindering Light's effect won't do anything, but you'll still get to draw a card.
