Finding this card made me so happy!

It's going straight into my french EDH Tajic deck. Basically, for 1 red mana, I can stop a counterspell, but in other matchups, I can still use it on a removal spell or something - it's not a dead card like red elemental blast would be. On top of that, it's still in range for sunforger to throw it. That's very significant for protecting my permanents from spot removal - including sunforger itself.

An awesome hidden gem. *** blue. 5/5
