I think that counterspell is the best card in magic nothing can stop it (besides another type of counterspell)It can stop life threating damage from being delt ,a huge creature from coming into play,or make sure nothing happens to a card of yours .It is a sure fire way to victory.In 1998 a deck in the pro-tour was filled with 22 different types of counterspells andplaced very high .All and all it's a great card.

There are so many counterspells around these days. But how often do you wish to simply and plainly counter a spell, without giving your opponent the possibility to pay mana to prevent your counter or whatever?!

One of the most hated cards in the game, your opponent throws out a big creature, you say 'wait a minute' and laugh at the sight of his face as you put this card down.

Counterspell is simply the best common ever printed. It even beats out many rares and uncommons with its ability to stop them cold. This is the best of the countermagic cards available....

just to put it simply.COUNTERSPELL IS THE BEST BLUE CARD EVER MADE.it can stop any card cast and only cost 2 blue mana ,and about 2 quarters to buy 4 should be in every blue deck

my favourite card. your opponent can (try) to throw you whatever super kill all monster or super damage spell, but if you have this beauty he is powerless i always put it in my merefolk deck.

possibly the best non-broken card in the magic universe, will all ways be a staple in every good blue deck.

Nick is definitely right. I hate it. It completely took out my Lightning Dragon. I hate the card but I still keep the cards in my deck.

REAL MEN DONT PLAY BLUE!!! (((-:
ok, i like this card and it would be great to see it in 10th edition (;

What's not to like? It's cheap at two island mana and doesn't have a backdoor mechanism for your opponent like Manaleak and Perplex. Imagine the advantage one could gain by rendering an enemy's spell useless four turns in a row after turn two.

The best counterspell in the game, 2 blue and its countered. Far better then Mana Leak which is easily prevented, and way better then those xUU ones that make you pay a potentially retarded amount of mana to counter something. Though another great counter is Overrule, which is sweet because even if they prevent it by paying X, you still gain X life. Though regular old counterspell is where its at for any deck that has some blue in it

The original, nothing comes close to this except Force of Will which is the same league
-- By Counterspell from Sydney on April 25, 2008 |

Only two other counters top it- Force of Will and mana drain-This card is amazing

It makes me cry to know it might not ever again be printed. what would magic be without having to worry about playing your shivan only to have countered. this card is one of the few pioneering cards in magic I feel sorry for new players who will never Know what a counterspell is

Well this is obviously overpowered and can stop almost every spell in existance but seriously I'm only writing a review to speak to an annoying crowd of people that deem it necessary to write counterspell or something similar in their reviews for everything else. Seriously, what a stupid thing to say about other cards that are worth just as many stars. Why would you do that? People seem to forget that there is just as much possibility to respond to terror, counterspell, and any other card meant to prevent. Write something productive whether you approve or disapprove of the card but for the love of Richard Garfield don't state something so redundant and pointless as 'counterspell'. Know what? I'll play Last Word against whatever you've got to stop my Wrath of God so shut up.

best card for a blue mage deck, keep handy against high casting deadly spells, eg. armageddon
