Sokka's Haiku (TLA)

Instant — Lesson

Counter target spell. Draw a card, then mill three cards. Untap target land.

Solid counterspell for blue control and tempo decks. At five mana, Sokka's Haiku does real work: it answers a threat, replaces itself, and generates a small milling effect while untapping a land for tempo or ramp. The flexibility of the untap clause makes it particularly valuable in decks running utility lands or in Commander, where the card advantage and utility justify the cost. Playable in Pioneer and Modern control shells, though it competes with more efficient answers like Counterspell and Murktide in formats where they're legal.
