An absolute must have for any extended deck that includes blue.

Awesome card! Foil, thwart, and misdirection's got nothing on this card. I just won an ebay auction for four of these bad boys and I can't wait to put them in my type 1 permission deck!
However, I see that it had been placed on the restricted watch list. I can see how that is. Hopefully, it won't get restricted. It's not like Mana Drain!

If you are playing blue in anything but Type II, you need four of these. The major weakness of blue decks used to be that they couldn't stop anything on turn one. This can stop any spell (except for things like Scragnoth) when you haven't even played a land. In fact, if you're not playing a blue deck, you might consider putting a decent amount of blue in just for this card. Just don't play this in a deck with only two other blue spells or you'll never have one to pitch. Awesome, awesome card!!!

Force of Will is one of those cards that makes your opponent cringe. The mere fact that you can counter any of thier spells whether or not you're tapped out makes this card fantastic. I play in multiple extended tournaments every year and in 90% of the decks there are 4 force of wills. The simple fact is that if you build a competitive non-type 2 deck that contains blue, it is going to contain force of will....

OK a step by step evaluation of what the pluses and minuses of this card are
+ 1st turn counter of a key creature (stops pesky dark ritual things and potentially devastating 1st turn creatures
+ That alternate casting cost is alwlys useful
+ You can allow yourself to tap out and still counter something
+ You can make peopl hesitant if they know you have it
- You do lose one life if you do the alternte castng cost
- To use it regurlarly it is 5, expensive
- Not type 2 legal
Overall: This is an excelant card that can be used in many formats, and an excellent surprise just when they think they can slip something by. In type 1 or 1.5 this card is a must

THis card is GREAT. no mana countering... its sick. Proves old cards can still kick a$$. Every counterspell deck needs 4 of these.

I finally managed to get my hands on one of these, and it doesn't work as well as many people say it does, but it is still very useful. I only use it when I'm tapped out and an important spell is played (and a vanilla 2/2 creature does not qualify as important.)

Force of will is one of the best counterspell cards in magic.A control deck must have 4 force of will.

A blue deck without Force of Will is a boring deck! It saved me many times against the "First turn kills".

Powerful Card, Can be in many decks that run blue. Can also be very suprising when you are tapped out and your opponet doesn't know you can still counter. I own 2 of these but, I am trying to get two more.

Horrible card and there is no need for it. If you are building a counter deck right you will have so many other counter spells and creatures that counter to cover any scenario. Using cards that damage life and limit cards in your hand is foolish.

This card drops jaws.

Forced to put four Force of Will in my Vintage deck! Don't like to remove a Time Walk or Ancestral Recall but it's better then a turn one graveyard. Unless somebody can teach me how to use a Ancestral Recall to recall a dead player!? This card sucks and rules at the same time...

I love this card. Why? It's the best combo killer alive in any format!
First turn lotus, channel, fireball, ha ha you're dead..... No, I'm not, cuz I Willed your fireball!
Actually pulling that off against the early combos was a great feat and it made me feel full of pride. It showed that cheaper cards could be just as powerful as the more expensive cards AND that this one would be a fan favorite for a long time. Even now, with Coldsnap on the rise, we all are wanting a foil Force of Will.
I own 4 of these puppies in my control deck, but I'm seriously pondering the thought of purchasing four more

this card is a must-have in ANY non-type II deck...not only is it good in general play, but it is effective against cards brought out first turn by super-expensive cards such as the Moxes and the Lotus...

the only bad part about this card is that it cycled out of extended. this card is kinda like wrath of god; even if you're not playing it, you NEED a playset, just in case.

You know those 2U mana signs for the casting cost for this card? Its actually not 2U signs its actually 2 tear drops your opponent sheds when you play this card.

This card made me an all time "Blue" player. When it came out in Alliances, lots of people didn't really see the power of this card. I did, bought 8 units straight away, 4 for play and 4 in the collection. It was the best buy ever when it was $2.00 each. On par with the original Counterspell (or maybe better if not)

Whoever rated this as a one star card is just mad because Force of Will is STYLIN ON Y'ALL JIVE TURKEYS!! I mean seriously, am I glad I had the foresight to trade for a playset of these when Alliances was out... back when I was like twelve or thirteen, blue was seriously the 'uncool' color: I mean, honestly, what young nOOb wants to get all tech-y countering spells and drawing cards when you can just beat face? Craw Wurm FTW!!! Hehehe... I miss the days when I was young and foolish.
