      Seems playable to me. Delver style decks for sure can use this, and I can imagine it taking the place of Spell Pierce/Snare based on the meta at any give time. Also dodges MM which I think is of untold value right now.

        I'm thinking infect were you're forcing a stack fight in the attack step or defending in the second main when they're trying to avoid just that.

          On second thought I doubt this is actually good. But my first thought was Merfolk or Humans, something with a ton of creatures and Cavern, with this for backup to cast something ending like a True Name.

          I like to express the id that a player would feel without the superego of being like, "oh you have to be nice."

            @protoaddct Looks like a Legacy card to me

              The fact that you can't Raid on your opponent's turn is huge, right? I'm not a Delver master but I feel like I'm using [[Spell Pierce]] / [[Spell Snare]] on my opponent's turn maybe 7 or 8 times more often than on my own.

              This card gets better in the late game when you can afford to pay 1UU, but I don't know that Raid is going to trigger often enough (lined up with you wanting to counter something during your postcombat main) to make it better than a vanilla [[Counterspell]], nevermind a [[Mana Drain]].

                  @brass-man I agree. I could see this getting played in Standard or Modern if you had an aggro/combo style deck, since your other counterspell options there all have different pros and cons. But in eternal? This card is probably worse than Stoic Rebuttal.

                    Its way better than [[cancel]] though. I'm glad the bar is being raised for hard counters.
