It's an elegant card. Counter normal things under normal circumstances, and counter odd things under odd circumstances.

A counter that cannot be countered is good at 3 cc, given that it's anti-storm/cascade, even better.

Well this fits a spot perfectly in one of my EDH decks, I look forward to fetching THIS with sunforger.

Excellent. "Can't be countered" is nice, but what people tend to miss is that it ALSO can't be redirected in many situations: it has to point at a spell you don't control, so it can't be re-aimed at the spell your opponent countered when you use this to counter their counter.

I dig this. The overload was clearly intended to hose Storm and other tactics that aren't in Standard,
but if you've got an Izzet Standard deck, this is still a solid hard (extra hard?) counter.
It will likely work best in EDH, where my Mindbreak Traps are always getting Countered.

A fairly good storm counter.

Shouts out to the greatness of Double Negative. If you want to learn how to use that overload cost right, read Angel_Bob's comment on the card.

I'm not quite sold on this one. The overload will only rarely matter, same as the "can't be countered part". Yet, it is more difficult to cast than cancel, with the mana cost. I think I will stick to dissipate. Easier to cast and it's special thingy matters more often.
