Magic: The Gathering Thread XIV: Instant Annoying, Just Add Hexproof

[IthilanorStPete]

In a feature match in some Star City Games Open, a guy tried to Extirpate someone's Punishing Fire, and they responded by tapping Grove of the Burnwillows (mana ability!) to make it return to their hand.

Morph is goofy also, because it doesn't use the stack. So you can respond to Split Second by turning a card face up.

Yep! Back when Time Spiral was in standard, Willbender was used a fair bit to redirect split second spells.
