Ok then. I'm not surprised this idea had already come up, so I can't blame you. Spells are one of the only things that you can't counter in the game right now and it would be interesting to see it get into the game. I honestly don't care if they draw more inspiration from me, or you, or some other guy.

And let's go for another hard counter.. I like Counterspell a lot but this card totally destroy any deck based on spell (Bonebolt, fire stall, miracle and such) It VERY close to : you can't play spell till the end of the game.

Um, no. It doesn't stack, so you can power through

I'm rarely able to chain 4 spells.. and even after that the opponent can play an other of this card..
And it's totally useless vs some deck too. For me it's like purify : destroy some decks, doesn't have any use vs the other.
Still I like the idea of countering spells

Eh, many many deck use spells. Do you think 1 => 2 would balance it?

[ralouf]

Yes I think it'll make it more balanced IMO. Though it just my thoughts, maybe if you test it in real game it'll be more balanced.

Actually what you need to take in account is thtat if this card block 2 spells you'll need 3 to actually play something.

I agree, it does seem to be a bit of a hard counter to spell decks. I had a couple ideas I thought I'd throw out though:
1) What if it blocked the next offensive spell OR ability. That way it would, for example, block poison from chrysaora. Given a couple in play however, it becomes possible to power through using expendable abilities in order to cast a more potent spell.
2) Another alternative would be to send the spell back to the opponent's hand / deck when countered. That seems to fit with the oracle quote theme as well.

(Option 1 would make for some fun aether life synergy decks since it is then an obvious combo w/ lobotomizer and silence)
