While its good to be smart and not empty your hand when your opponent is likely to slam you with it, its better to just play your game with your end goal in mind than to fiddle around endlessly in fear of the card being played

Counters kind of matter, but realistically youre paying three mana to make your 2/2 a 5/5 and smashing them and hoping they dont have a removal spell
