# Thranduil's Decree
- **Mana Cost:** `{4}{U}{U}` (CMC: 6)
- **Type:** Instant

## Oracle Text
Counter target spell. If a permanent spell is countered this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost for as long as it remains exiled.

> *„Ich habe das Recht, zu erfahren, was euch hierher führt, und wenn ihr es mir nicht auf der Stelle verratet, so sperre ich euch alle so lange ein, bis ihr Manieren gelernt habt!"*
