How many spells are you expecting to need to counter? Chances are, your opponent will only want to play one per turn. Then this card becomes: 2UU, Tap an untap wizard you control: Counter target spell. Not exactly a powerful counterspell.

mmiller42: Those damn gangsta tentacle rappers, always blaring their R'lyeh chants from boomboxes and hiding dimebags in their suckers. Then they get plastered on St. Ives and spray ink all over my lawn. Why do they call each other ceph, anyway?

I'll take patron wizard over this any day. While it is more vulnerable to removal, and it is only a soft counter, it stays in play so you can use the abilities whenever, and you can always counter the removal. It ties up your opponents mana so that they wait until they have more mana then you have wizards (not gonna happen easily) and forget the two blue mana you innocently left untapped. This is trash in comparison.
Pretty sure there was supposed to be an 'e' on the end of that 'rap,' but thass cool.

I assume this is a card that was meant to counter Storm effects. Still, ScissorsLizard and jsttu both have a point. Also we got Flusterstorm for that now. This could have gotten away with half the cost of i think. Since creature types were a major theme in Onslaught, i think this should have been Uncommon as well.
Then again, it can counter your opponent's first spell and keep him/her from casting anything else, which already is pretty efficient, and might have been the reason for the card's cost and rarity.
It's maybe also a nice Instant in multiplayer to sneak in at the right time.
Oh yeah. Card usability aside, blindthrall's comment was a great and hilarious example to show us the importance of correct spelling. The funniest part is, this artwork potentially depicts what a psychic rap battle might look like. (Yet it's probably far more boring for observers to listen to compared to common rap battles.)

What an odd, situational card. This is way worse then cancel unless for some strange reason there is x2+ spells on the stack, that your opponents control.
