I think this is ace... really nice against a blue deck. If opponent counters it, you won't play the creature and he'll have wasted one counterspell but not the actual creature; in the other hand, if he doesn't counter, he knows he's gonna be hit hard next.

...Guys, if your opponent has enough untapped mana and hard counters in hand to counter this AND your next creature, you're already virtually guaranteed to lose at that point.

i agree with eternallurker and leokula. I happen to play a counterdeck and so i know that i will always counter this if played. i dont want you to play you darksteel if my best creature is a 2/2 morph.
also, i have a question. if this is some how made to be playable at instant speed and a creature is already on the stack and being countered. then can you play this on top of the stack so that it resolves first making the creature un counterable. will it count the card already on the stack to be the next spell played or not because it was already cast

This is one of the funniest regular magic cards out there (Art + Name). The fact that this card lets you draw another after playing it makes it worthwhile, regardless of the ability. Any 1 cmc card that gives you a halfway decent effect and lets you refill your hand deserves AT LEAST a 4, because there is no disadvantage to playing it.

hijart_darth: I would say no, for the same reason Silence can't counter spells: they both only work before the card is cast. Once they're on the stack, it's too late. As far as the card's usefulness, just use Vexing Shusher.

Wut does that do again? Player 2 briefly reads what this card does. Player 2: INCONCEIVABLE! ABSOFRIGGIN-BanefireLUTELYINCONCEIVABLE!

Incest Sorcery Controversial - Remove Incest from your deck before playing if you are not playing with auntie. The next creature spell you play this turn ought to be countered by any available spells or abilities.

Bonus points if you play Marrow Shards the same turn. You could build a "WTF is all this glass I'm breaking" theme deck.

This is the only card that gives creature spells "This can't be countered by spells or abilities". Normaly, creatures and cards like Leyline of Lifeforce and Gaea's Herald have "This can't be countered". Why is that?

@blindthrall
I half agree, but the difference in price between this and vexing shusher is.. enormous.
Similar to this card is overmaster
