Rulings (2)

Apr 12, 2024 · Noncreature spells that were cast before Magebane Lizard entered the battlefield count. If Magebane Lizard enters the battlefield after a player has already cast a noncreature spell in the same turn, that spell will be counted by Magebane Lizard’s triggered ability if that player casts another noncreature spell that turn.

Apr 12, 2024 · Magebane Lizard’s ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
