The classic creature counter. With timing, this can easily stop your opponent's trump card. Worth using in almost any blue deck.

But it can't remove soul from Soulless One right?

A great card. Great art and flavor, and simply devastating in its day.

Not the flashiest, not the most flexible, but completely and utterly elegant. My favorite counterspell, and I'll tell you why.
When I was just a youngster, playing with a five-color monstrosity of randomly assembled cards from Invasion booster packs against other similar monstrosities, I happened upon Counterspell for the first time. Still having only learned the rules secondhand, this strange new type of spell fascinated me. I assumed it did exactly what it did, and asked around to confirm its function.
When I finally got the opportunity to try out my new weapon, the open-handed swatting-down of a Metamorphic Wurn, my friends were incredulous. That's too powerful they said, it couldn't be right. Creatures aren't spells anyway. They decided that spells are only instants, sorceries, an enchantments, obviously (the ones that sound like spells, I guess). I was disallowed from countering all manner of overcosted common fattiest that day.
But whe... (see all)
