I really wanna use this at some point in a multiplayer game when I know I won't be able to pay the cost and just scream "Banzai!" One unlucky fellow will look at me and go "Really, man? Really?"

It's not Force of Will, but it's the Force of Will we've got.

Yay, combo protection. I win before my next upkeep anyway.
Of course, Platinum Angel stops you from losing the game entirely, meaning this becomes a 0 mana Cancel full-stop no questions asked.
Your opponent would have probably tried to kill the Angel, but lo and behold, you had a counter for that...

When blue needs an ace up its sleeve, accept no substitutes.

This is the card you want mid to late game... When you are tapped out playing Sphinx's revelation and they try to counter.. Or you tap out to drop huge creature and they cast removal.. OR when you are tapped out and they play Ulamog or Karn feeling like it's finally safe...
Or when you are ready to combo out/swing for the win...
Then you will know the power of playing this card.
This card would suck early game. But I mean turn 5 I can tap out and have an emergency counter, 4.5/5 for that.

@splizer True, but there are options depending on the format, etc - casually I'd run a deck with Pact of Negation and Platinum Angel if I were running something like Diplomatic Immunity and protected my angel with it. hehe.

Cast in an 8 way multiplayer game with Hive Mind and watch political chaos ensue.

Regarding shenanigans while Hive Mind is out on the field in Multiplayer: Couldn't a player potentially counter another player's Pact of Negation, preventing them from having to pay the cost on their turn? Obviously not everyone will be spared, but it'd stop the original caster from insta-winning.
