still a bit overpowered. probably 2UU would work.

2.9 stars, seriously people? Cancel is a great and balanced spell. They could print it in every Core set from now until forever for all I care. This needs to stay out of other sets, though.

I wish for Counterspell to come back, but I guess we've got to work with what we've got. 4 stars for just being in our decks to save us from Baneful Omens and the like.

I think that instead of Counterspell replacing this, they should add some bounce/draw to it... i.e: Dream Fracture.

It's quite a bizarre leap from playing mostly burn decks to trying out mono blue decks and winning with them. Mostly it's a lesson in patience. If you're too impatient to learn how to use Cancel effectively, try playing with other colors. The whole point of countermagic is to make the game last long enough for you to win the game. Cancel perfectly places the emphasis on this with a higher mana cost than the classic Counterspell.
I personally had a much more difficult time learning to use Counterspell effectively than I did with Cancel because Counterspell was available much earlier in the game. Cancel's higher cost means it sits in your hand longer, long enough for your opponents to have the mana to cast a spell worth countering.

Aother reason standard makes no sense to me. With all the ridiculous and over powered cards in Scars and Besieged it seems like real bullsh¡t for wizards to keep suppresing counterspell in favor of this gimped-out two bit common trash thats not even fit to proxy over.

That wizard is looking down at us, as if he has some reason to be proud. But we all know he's a broken-down husk of a mage, forced to cast Cancel. What a chump!
