Yo dawg, I heard you like Forks so I put a Reverberate in your M11 Booster so that you can copy instants while you copy instants...

Question:
If I happen to have the mana in a red deck (weird),
And someone Cancels any of my spells,
And I play this on the Cancel,
Do I get rights and priveleges of countering the counter?

No shít, but they should have named it "Spoon", IMO.

Fist thought: Nice a red Twincast or Fork that I can buy for cheaper. Second thought: gross art, just the face not sure what it is. Too cartoony and little lines make it look like it's trying to be Anime or something.

WOO!! New Fork!!
Am I the only one who thinks that "indesicive" is not a trait that should belong to IMPULSIVE red mages??
@Virtue: Reverberate doesn't make the copy Red. In case some bizzare enchantment you have down cares. Or I suppose so they can't Blue Elemental Blast your copy of Cancel. Which does work, infernox (Reverberating their Cancel and then Cancelling it)

@Infernox:
Yes; coyping a counterspell allows you to counter that counterspell with the new copy of said counterspell, though if someone is trying to counter your (insert name of instant/sorcery spell here), you might as well just copy your own spell instead of countering your opponent's counter.
However, in cases where you're casting a permanent and your opponent tries to counter it, you can definitely use Reverberate to counter your opponent's counterspell.
Reverberate + Lava Axe + Fire Servant = 20 damage to the face ! :D
As if red burn wasn't powerful enough? This card is just nuts, but I love it!

Twincast sucked in blue. Here's to hoping Fork will be great again in red, which is where it belongs.

So what if someone played a Blood Tribute and kicked it and I wanted to copy it with Reverberate, would I have to pay the kicker cost to have my copy be kicked or does my copy just come kicked?
Made a casual deck centered around Breath of Malfegor, Pyromancer, and Twincast for multiplayer use. Always wanted Fork but too pricey and hard to find! 5/5 and picking up 4 copies of this TODAY

I played my friend with the ur intro deck at prerelease and opened one of these in a pack, needless to say I blew him away with a double chandra's outrage. Also really fun with fling, double flinging goodness, throw two eldrazi for 20 damage ftw.

Fork's red-coloring clause was kind of silly, and this is a much more flavorful name. I'd say it's the best way to revive the old card.

While Fork was one of my favorite cards ever, removing the "copy is red" clause is a pretty cheezy way to get around the Reserve List reprint policy.
Will we see a Black Lotus in Scars that is the same except now a colored artifact? "Sunburst Lotus is all colors". Cheese.

Two questions regarding Reverberate. Are you technically "casting" a spell twice? Like if you were to Reverberate or Twincast a Lightning Bolt whilst there is one in your graveyard and you control a Pyromancer Ascension(Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell that has the same name as a card in your graveyard, you may put a quest counter on Pyromancer Ascension) would you be casting two Lightning Bolts therefore putting two quest counters on Pyromancer Ascension? Second, does Reverberate or Twincast combine with Rebound? If you were to cast a Twincasted or Reverberated Staggershock would you then exile that copy and be able to play it from exile as you would the original spell?

This card kinda makes me wonder what it would be like if you were running four of these, four twincasts, and four redirects in one deck... Anyway, this card is only as good as you make it. If you copy something stupid like a healing salve, then it sucks. But if you manage to copy a Cruel Ultimatum... That would be great. :)

This card here tells counterspell to go take a hike (among many other nifty things).
Edit: @Islander90Z Question 1: No, it doesn't count as casting. This is explained in the rulings underneath the card. Question 2: Again, no, unfortunately. The copy of the spell only exists on the stack and disappears completely once it gets exiled. You may exile it (I can't see why you would except to maybe avoid a Vulturous Zombie trigger or something like that), but it would cease to exist as it hits exile and therefore would not be able to come back next turn.
Original: @NancyCircle The copy would be kicked. Whenever a spell is copied, all aspects of that spell at the time they are on the stack are copied: whether or not it was kicked/how many times it was kicked; what mode(s) were chosen (if someone plays a cryptic command you cannot change which two effects were selected); which half of a split spell was selected (If someone cast Hide // Seek and chose Hide, the copy is of Hide and may not be changed to Seek); how much was paid for X, Y, and/or Z (see The Ultimate Nightmare of Wizards of the Coast® Customer Service); what was spliced into the spell (a copy of lava spike with a spliced on desperate ritual would copy treat the copy of lava spike as having the spliced in card).
etc.etc.etc....you get the point.
Normally this would also copy the targets of the copied spell (as that is also an aspect of the spell on the stack), but reverberate/twincast/fork/izzet guildmage/etc. say you can change the target(s).

I was orginally building a Pyromancer's Descension deck using these, Runeflare Traps, Richochet Traps, and redirects, but then standard shifted so I never got to use it. =(
I made a response to underworlderZer0's comment, but I figured it went to far into lotus territory, so I'm putting it in the Black Lotus discussion.

I run this card in my casual Channel-Fireball deck. Basically, it gets used as a counterspell for RR most of the time. It's got a lot of utility though. Anything your opponent does that you want to do, you can! Opponent casts Harrow? You get 2 untapped lands for free, etc.

Ah, MTG of the 90s vs. MTG of the new millenium.
Reverberate has some technical differences from fork. Soooo that's how? =)
