Okay, so say someone was countering a creature would I be able to.use an instant such as Peel from Reality to return the creature to my hand as apposed to having it be countered. I feel like it wouldn't work, but I figured it'd be worth an ask.

So for starters, welcome to MTGSalvation. We have a great rules section which can be found here. Here is a useful intro to our tags which may help in general posting so others can see what cards you are referring to.
Assuming you are casting and someone Counterspells your creature on the stack, that creature is not yet in play to be targeted by a spell like Peel from Reality because it targets creatures in play. You could however use something like Remand or Venser, Shaper Savant to recover your spell on the stack to hand. When creatures are being cast they go on the stack. While a creature is on the stack it cannot be targeted yet by spells that target creatures in normal fashion. Remove Soul for instance could target a creature on the stack but Swords to Plowshares cannot.
Sorry, I am not a rules guru or judge so I can only explain it to some extent. I am sure someone in the rules forum could explain it in more detail for you.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
