It will probably never happen because of the rise in counterspell CMCs, but I'd love to see this reprinted... Maybe commander or duel decks?

I like the green/blue snakes (this, Coiling Oracle, Lorescale Coatl and Winged Coatl), and I hope there will be more in the future.

@Zulp, I'm right there with you. If you run playsets of those four with a few other good green snakes (there are many), add Overrun and 4x Sosuke's Summons, maybe spice it up with a few Parallel Lives and add some card draw, it's starting to resemble a deck ... The mana curve should be about right too.

Kind of comparable to Summoner's Bane, except that this is way more flexible and can be bounced for abuse.
I like resetting this and Coiling Oracle with Nulltread Gargantuans :P

With Cavern of Souls, it's basically a 2/2 creature with flash, and a counter spell that in turn can't be countered. Now THAT'S powerful!

Pretty sick when you have a Hunting Grounds up and running.

One of the coolest creatures ever printed. It's cards like this that make Momentary Blink one of my favorite cards ever.

It's an Ashcoat Bear stapled to a Counterspell. Good on it's own, great in a U/G Snake tribal deck.

Nowadays it's Grizzly Bears + Cancel - 1. Getting an extra 2/2 for G is always good, but this is best when combo'ed with Momentary Blink. That's THREE hard counterspells for two cards and 1GUU, 1W and 3U!

Very efficient when you consider that it is EXACTLY a Bears stapled to a Counterspell.
