Counterspell is pretty much the best counter ever.
And yeah, the flavor text is awesome.

I think this is my favorite Counterspell version. I would say the Tempest version, but you can't get a shiny one. The art on the JvC version is spectacular, but too specific; I'm not Jace.
Actually, check that; Dom!'s art on the DCI Judge Gift Card makes that one my favorite version. Can't link to that...wish they'd put the promos up on Gatherer.

Personally, I like the Ice Age version the best, but that might be because that's the one I remember seeing most when I started.

Ah, Counterspell. How I loved you, and yet I still understand why you had to go. If you were still around, the cries of "Blue is OP!!!1!" from the newbies would be even louder, and (slightly) more justified. Being able to stop anything, save for a precious few "Can't be countered" spells and the Split Second cards (generally said to be overpowered anyway), with just two blue mana *was* borderline unfair.

Blue's Dark Ritual (in spirit, not in effect), any blue deck that doesn't have four of these in it is not complete.
Also, this is the best flavour text for this card ever.

It is strictly better than every other counter spell ever.
2 mana to counter any kind of spell with no drawback is too broken.
