Teferi's Response:


Counter target spell or ability an opponent controls that targets a land you control. If a permanent's ability is countered this way, destroy that permanent.

A land I control, is that also a land in my graveyard?

If Yes, then Teferi's Response could destroy Deathrite Shaman, right?

You don't control cards in your graveyard, only cards on the battlefield.

I think the difference is "land" versus "land card". Lands are in play. Land cards are all cards not in play with the type Land. Same is true for other types as well. Creatures are only ever creatures in play. Everywhere else they are creature cards.

So no.

Roob and PirateKing are both correct, in fact. Only cards that are permanents or spells have controllers, and land only exists on the battlefield - everywhere else it's a land card.

108.4. A card doesn't have a controller unless that card represents a permanent or spell; in those cases, its controller is determined by the rules for permanents or spells. See rules 110.2 and 111.2.
