It just feels really satisfying to counter a counterspell with this ^_^

this card is not very good... the only reason i gave it any rating what so ever is because it can be played in a green deck which is hilarious.

"Counter target counterspell". I love it.

Very nice defensive card for a green or red deck that just says no against no.

Wow, pretty neat card (even if it forces you to play red/green).
It's pretty humorous as well.
I hate those pesky blue counterspells.
And like it is stated here, it's simply very satisfying to counter a blue counterspell with this

I love how it's just so focused. That's exactly what they would want to stop, too...like "screw you and your super arcane magical interrupting abilities, Guttural Response, ho."

hmmm would have made a nice cantrip. Blue needs more hosing.
I guess you have to compare to Red Elemental Blast before you pass judgement.

I'm still hoping for a sorcery speed couterspell with 'Flash'

Each time I have used this card in my burn deck (against a counter heavy blue deck where I assumed it would do well) My opponent counters my counter of his counter so...counterproductive? I have yet to try it in a creature heavy green deck.

I wish it was just a counter target blue spell, but this does allow you to stop counterspells in both green and red. And that's probably all you REALLY need to counter anyway. Also, you might find an esoteric use for it, more of a sideboard card IMO, but I see it's value.

I honestly love blue hate, because I hate blue.
"I say no. And no. And no.
Haha, I don't give you permission."
"..."
"I say n-"
"I SAY YES!!!!!"
This card just puts a blue player in your domain.
And you laugh at them.
But, honestly, most times I'd rather run Vexing Shusher.
It feels more like a continuous source of this spell.

Should have been better, I like that it also hits a lot of annoying blue bounce, but I wish it had a secondary effect or something incase they're not playing blue. Split Second would have also been really useful.

What's that spell that's being countered in the art? Looks like Fishingbolt or something

I like this card, but I don't like the art.

I would have preferred a picture of someone punching an old wizard in the face.

Gutteral response is my anti counterspell.

I love that the anti-counter is called "Guttural Response." You cast a spell, he counters it, and you just shout "UUUUUUUUUUUUUUNGH!" And you win.

Hmmm... to be all honest xD It's better to run Pyroblast since it does even more for one mana... though! If you ARE more green than red. and single red mana is difficult to get... then run this. But with Pyroblast, you are REALLY humping the blue players in the face...

Ahh, it makes me think of Garruk having his spell countered by Ertai (I know this wouldn't happen, but Ertai is a massive troll) and so he says "In response to that: "RRAAAFGHGHFHRE" and counters the counter.

I'm glad I don't play magic with my Skyrim friends, or else they'd all be running this, shouting "FUS RO DAH!" every time it was cast.

Normally I prefer Summoning Trap in Mono-Green Stompy, and Vexing Shusher is usually more relevant in any applicable archetype, but I can't help fall in love with this card regardless. It's such a gigantic middle-finger to the most conspicuously unbalanced aspect of Magic.

I enjoy how this card counters all those pesky {U} counterspells, but additionally it can counter a ton of other {U} spells. Don't like that mill deck? Take that Archive Trap...also counters awesome {U} utility spells like Brainstorm, Cryptic Command and Commandeer. My favourite though was having a {U} mage tapped out and cast Force of Will...only to have it countered.

Flavor text suggests it shatters steel and melts auras. Why isn't it naturalize?

Actually, for 1Red or GreenRed or Green a modal spell that lets you choose between countering a blue spell or destroying an artifact or enchantment would be sweet. But red's not supposed to destroy enchantments.

Use to counter a Flashfreeze for extra irony.

Oh noooo! A "counter-counterspell"! And an intrepid goblin "mage"! Whatever shall we poor Blue mages doooo?!

Mindbreak Trap

Sorry, Red or Green mages, but you will simply never be able to beat us at our own game.

I love the idea of this card, but at best it seems it's sideboard material for certain combo decks. At best.
I've excepted that this is probably the best counter red or green will have for a while though.

I imagine when this card is useful though, it's vital. But for now, I'll pass on this and just continue waiting for a less specific green counterspell. That or green wrath.
It'll happen, just you wait.


3.5/5.

Shatter steel and melt auras? Well then, why doesn't this destroy artifacts or enchantments?

"Wort had a raiding-bellow that could shatter steel, melt auras, and slice countermagic in half"

So...this guy was Dovahkin?

@Tiggurix Too bad that Mindbreak Trap is a blue instant that can be countered by guttural response.

@Tiggurix: The correct card to reference was Last Word, and there are still plenty of answers to that one anyway.

You know, considering the flavor text, it could have had something like

"Kicker - {R}{R}{R} or {G}{G}{G} If the kicker cost was paid, choose one: Destroy target aura, or destroy target equipment."

Not only would that be flavorful, but it'd also make the card more interesting. But I'm still glad to have what we do now, haha.

Putting one in every R/G EDH deck I ever build, if nothing than for all the gorramn Cyclonic Rifts.
