I played Okani to counter spell. Opponent had Learn Draconic quest at 0/8 and he played 2 mana spell. It was countered, but his quest Learn Draconic became 2/8.
Okani has overall problems of fully countering cards. I made a post about another problem with him
In my understanding “counter” means fully negate all effects of a card, like it was never played. But some side effects still break through counter effect.
Then mana that he spent on the spell should return to opponent, right?
Mana spent playing a spell is a cost, not an effect.
No this isn’t as intended. What is supposed to happen is that, for example, if this had been counterspell, your opponent wastes the mana, the spell isn’t cast, and the quest is not progressed. Okani’s particular spell counter effect seems to work differently.
But it works different with counterspell spell
That’s what I’m saying. I’m agreeing that the countering of counterspell and okani work different.
