Counter target creature spell. Put a +1/+1 counter on up to one target creature you control.
¿Magia o músculo? Un enfrentamiento reciente enciende el debateContrarresta el hechizo de criatura objetivo. Pon un contador +1/+1 sobre hasta una criatura objetivo que controlas.
A creature spell that can't be countered is a legal target for Essence Capture. The spell won't be countered when Essence Capture resolves, but you'll still put a +1/+1 counter on the target creature.
You can't cast Essence Capture without a target creature spell. If either target is illegal when Essence Capture tries to resolve, the other is still affected as appropriate.
Legality follows the dated Scryfall catalog snapshot.
