With Soulshift, this could be a valuable reusable addition to a control deck. Gets around cards that limit when you can play spells.

The first spell target opponent casts each turn costs 2 more to play.

Again, training grounds make this broken, specially if you play two

If you have Training grounds out, the regular counter ability is AWESOME, which nearly turns this card into a reoccuring counterspell. If you have a blue counter deck, put 4 of these in, along with training grounds.

The Channel cost isn't half bad, and a recurring counter ability will help slow an opponent down at the very least.

When you have Training Grounds like previously mentioned, you have Mana Leak on a stick, almost. I'd give it a 4/5 easy for its CMC.
Look, the channel makes for a very difficult to hit counterspell. Sure it costs {3}{U}, but it's an activated ability that counters which can count for a lot sometimes. Plus it has an actual body that isn't completely terrible either.
