Summoning Trap
Oracle Text
If a creature spell you cast this turn was countered by a spell or ability an opponent controlled, you may pay rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Look at the top seven cards of your library. You may put a creature card from among them onto the battlefield. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.
