Counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, put it on top of its owner's library instead of into that player's graveyard.

Character Background
Memory Lapse is a classic blue tempo-control tool that turns an answer into a setback: for just {1}{U}, it not only stops a key spell, but tucks it back on top of its owner’s library, forcing the opponent to redraw it later and wasting their next draw step. That makes it especially punishing against expensive threats, combo pieces, and sweepers, since it buys time while denying progress. It shines in proactive control shells and tempo decks that want to protect an early board lead, particularly alongside cheap countermagic and card selection like Opt or Consider, which help you keep the pressure on while they redraw the same card. In Commander or slower constructed formats, it pairs well with effects that manipulate the top of libraries or delay draws, turning the “memory lapse” into a repeated time walk. It’s less about permanent denial than strategic delay, and that delay is often enough.
