However... Force of Will is near is much more expensive than this. Realistically, this is going to be used more often. To be honest, it's not any worse than Force of Will either imho, just different. Sure you can't counter an awesome creature, but as long as it isn't a creature it becomes yours! Opponent casts Plague Wind... All his creatures die not yours! Opponent casts Demonic Tutor... YOU search YOUR library! This is just so awesome it makes me giggle. Yes, it costs 3 cards 99% of the time but if you play that at the right moment it's irrelevant.
