Nullstone Gargoyle

Artifact Creature - Gargoyle 4/5, 9 (9)
Flying

Whenever the first noncreature spell of a turn is cast, counter that spell.¹
Nullstone absorbs and dampens most forms of magical energy, as well as light, sound, and heat.
Illus. Glenn Fabry

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]

• 10/1/2005: Nullstone Gargoyle cares about the first noncreature spell cast during a turn, not the first one it "sees." If a noncreature spell was cast before Nullstone Gargoyle entered the battlefield, it won't counter the next one.
• 10/1/2005: If another spell is cast in response to the first spell, Nullstone Gargoyle doesn't affect that second spell.
