If my opponent plays two spells in succession, can I counter the first one with Crumbling Sands?
Yes. Crumbling Sands checks whether cards have been "played" in the finalize sense. As long as any opponent has finalized another spell after the first one — even if that later spell was countered — Crumbling Sands can counter the first spell.
