When a spell 1 is countered with Abandon, does spell 1 still trigger Abandoned Hall?
No, Spell 1 does not trigger Abandoned Hall if it is countered by Abandon.
According to RiftJudge FAQ #10217 and Rule 425.1.b, a spell that is countered is not considered to have been "played." Because the ability on Abandoned Hall triggers only after a spell has successfully completed its resolution process, a countered spell fails to meet the trigger condition.
Sequence of events:
- Initial State: You play Spell 1.
- Reaction: Your opponent plays Abandon targeting Spell 1.
- Chain Resolution: Abandon resolves first (LIFO). It counters Spell 1 and returns it to your hand.
- Outcome: Since Spell 1 was countered, it is cleared from the chain and never finishes resolving. Consequently, the "when you play a spell" trigger condition for Abandoned Hall is never met.
