- Wizards of the Coast2025-09-19 · official rulingMindbreak Trap's alternative cost condition checks whether an opponent cast three or more spells this turn, not whether those spells have resolved.
- Wizards of the Coast2025-09-19 · official rulingIf a spell is exiled, it's removed from the stack and thus will not resolve. The spell isn't countered; it just no longer exists. This works on spells that can't be countered.
