If you used Boseiju, Who Shelters All and say (sorry not Hindering Light) but any other card that would counter using Boseiju, Who Shelters All as a mana source... Wouldn't that counter the "cannot be countered" since it would resolve earlier on the stack?--

Its probably one of the very few cards that can cancel out Shroud. Rules state that the negative of the ability takes precedence, so if shroud says it can't be targeted, but Banefire says that abilities can't prevent it, Banefire's ability takes precedence, if I understand it correctly.

And yes, it works on Progntius, and otherwise indestructible Eldrazi.

"As an additional cost to play Banefire, say "Counter this, b*tch."
Blue players shall dread stalling my red deck until turn 6.

I really wish this had a Fireball ability to have more than one target. I feel that as a rare, it should. It's not very often people play prevention effects.

Also, congrats to Mode for starting this weird bolding thing.

Looks like I'm the only one that didn't quite like it... it's crazy how there's just no way around it except for Misdirection or some other weird card no one will be playing. With a cost like XRRR, or a Kicker cost of RR~RRR, it would look more balanced, but as it is, I just don't like it.

Question. Can you Swerve it back to your opponent? Since, technically you're not countering it, and you're not preventing it. You're just changing WHERE it's hitting...right???

As far as i can think, the only way to stop this from going off is to either redirect it to a different target, or Mindbreak Trap it, as Mindbreak Trap does not counter, it simply removes all spells from the stack.
