Simple, iconic, and effective. Also, probably the most debated, hated, and championed card in existence. Roe v. Wade in cardstock form, if you will.

I miss it, but Cancel makes for a more fun environment, in my opinion.

Too good. This card should not see any more printings, no matter it being the posterboy of magic cards

The most iconic of magic cards...PERIOD. Simple to understand, simple to use, tricky to master and the cornerstone of blue magic. It SHOULD be reprinted, but not until the environment is free of truly overpowered cards like Cryptic command.

A bit overwhelming, but they reprinted lightning bolt after extensive playtesting. If the metagame becomes too destabilized, this could fix some game problems. Sinkhole could make a comback as well since boomerang got cut. Also, with the release of Zendikar, this could see some reprinting action. As well as sinkhole. Poop is yummy.

this art... does not look like a counterspell. Not to me, anyway.

Counterspell, one of the only two mana cards that lets you say "NO!" to anything anywhere.

The hidden power 10 card. anyone giving it less than 5 either doesn't know what counter means or wants to downrate it so that it may actually be considered so bad that it could be reprinted in M12 (and it goes without saying that that won't happen :P)

Yeah I agree with FuriousGeorge (lol). As long as Mana Leak is around, my counterspell needs are satisfied

Not strictly better than Cancel: Go Spell Snare!

This is a counter.
Not the one I'm leaning on, mind you!

Counterspell, yes, just yes. Although using it is a clear way to say no to your opponent.
