701.6. Counter
Subrules
To counter a spell or ability means to cancel it, removing it from the stack. It doesn’t resolve and none of its effects occur. A countered spell is put into its owner’s graveyard.
The player who cast a countered spell or activated a countered ability doesn’t get a “refund” of any costs that were paid.
