Rulings
- : If the back face of a modal double-faced card is countered, you will not be able to exile any cards, including the one that you countered, because those cards have only their front-face characteristics (including name) in the graveyard, hand, and library.
- : Countering a spell normally puts that card into the graveyard, so that card will be there to find and exile.
