Might make for an interesting sideboard card. Highly situational, and you need to draw it early, but can be powerful.

My playgroup used to call this card Geordi.

I like how the 6th edition rule changes actually made this card much more powerful than it was originally intended to be (which isn't really saying much) by greatly expanding its effectiveness. As it was printed, it would specifically NOT affect instants.

While true that (as printed) it only affected blue interrupts and not instants, that's not too narrow practically speaking. Interrupts were used for "faster-than-fast effects" such as a counterspells, which are really blue's bread and butter. While most blue player will pay the life to keep at least one counterspell, it can really narrow down their options.

Reprint with split second, and you've got yourself a deal.

I like how Alan Rabinowitz always draws real people in his Magic artwork. Must be cool to be his friend.

Excellent as a second turn drop against {U} control if you went first.
Otherwise it's just counter bait =/

Situationally good card. As with most color hating cards, this can be improved vastly with Painter's Servant (naming {U}).

Opponent sideboards this in to punish your all spell blue control deck.
You: "Ok, well since my hand is all blue instants, counterspell"
