  • Alternatively, if the target spell is still a legal target but can’t be countered, Counterpoint will still resolve and allow you to cast a spell from your graveyard with mana value less than or equal to the target spell’s mana value.
  • If a spell you cast has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • If the target spell has {X} in its mana cost, use the value chosen for X when determining that spell’s mana value.
  • If the target spell is an illegal target as Counterpoint tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen.
  • If you cast a spell “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.
  • You cast the card from your graveyard as Counterpoint resolves. You can’t wait to cast it later in the turn. Timing restrictions based on the card’s types are ignored.

  • Look at both chosen modes to determine how many targets Cryptic Command has, if any. If it has at least one target, and all its targets are illegal when it tries to resolve, then it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. For example, if you choose the second and fourth modes, and the permanent is an illegal target when Cryptic Command tries to resolve, you won’t draw a card.
  • You choose both modes as you cast Cryptic Command. You must choose two different modes.

    Rules

  • Draining Whelk's ability counters the target spell even if you can't put counters on Draining Whelk, most likely because Draining Whelk left the battlefield before the ability resolved.
  • For spells with {X} in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine the spell's mana value.
  • If the target spell is an illegal target by the time Draining Whelk's ability tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. You don't put any counters on Draining Whelk. If the target is legal but the spell can't be countered, you do put counters on Draining Whelk.

  • Some spells that instruct you to surveil require targets. You can't cast a spell without choosing legal targets. If all of those targets become illegal, the spell doesn't resolve and you won't surveil.
  • You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.
