i was playing a game of magic (what else :) ) and my opponent used power
sink to counter my demonic hordes, there were 2 mana flares out and i had
10 mana i could draw, he said the power sink makes me tap all my remaining
mana even though i couldnt counter the power sink. to my understanding
power sink is effective when he has more mana than i have, and if i dont
WANT to pay to counter the power sink, i dont have to. Please tell me
who is correct.

Thanx in advance,

VinC

When Power Sink is cast, you MUST tap lands and spend mana from your mana
pool until
1) You have paid X
2) You have used up all mana in your mana pool and all of your mana
producing lands are tapped.

Hence, after a Power Sink that has successfully countered a spell, you will
not have any mana in your mana pool and all of your mana lands will be tapped.

Target spell is countered unless its caster spends X more mana.
Caster of target spell must draw and spend all available mana from
lands and mana pool until X is spent; he or she may also spend
mana from other sources if desired. If this is not enough mana,
target spell will still be countered.

YOu have to pay, even if you can't pay it all.
