Buyback & Counterspells
Stephen Cornelius
The way I understand it, the buyback can only be paid when the spell is
cast, so that you can't keep the mana (to for instance counter) if a
counterspell is cast or some other action is taken that causes the spell to
fizzle.
Am I right?
Please help.

it. Once announced your opponent can then interupt. And if the spell is
countered/fizzles then even if you paid the buyback, it goes to your
graveyard.

That's correct. You either announce the spell with just the normal
cost, or you pay the buyback cost as well. You can't pay later to buy
the spell back.

Correct. Buyback is paid at the same time as the casting cost of the spell
and at the same time as any other costs; this is before the spell can be
interrupted at all. So you have to pay before you know if opponent will
cast a Counterspell.
