You're right about its playability in Extended (T 1.x).
What you mean by "Type1 formats", OmniMarconi67, are likely the eternal formats.
But Type1 refers to Vintage only - as the name suggests the format where even the most broken cards like Black Lotus are allowed once.
Type 1.5, aka Legacy, is the second eternal format where such cards are banned. But especially in this format, Spell Snare is a very famous counterspell (besides Force of Will, of course.)
You'll certainly find your target for this spell in this format since it can target lots of cards in the meta which have a cmc of 2, such as Tarmogoyf, Standstill, Wild Mongrel, Hymn to Tourach, Goblin Piledriver, Counterbalance, Burning Wish, Living WIsh, Bitterblossom, Sinkh... (see all)

Lately in the Extended season this can might easily read: Counter target Tarmogoyf

There are lots of creatures and spells for cost of 2 that can be countered with this card. So overall its a good card.

When I saw this card, I immediately thought of the new colorless counter from New Phyrexia that can be paid with U or 2 life to counter a spell that costs 1.

TAKE THAT AETHER VIAL!

Wow this card has flown up in price! 5 bucks now on a good day! No thanks, I'm digging out my old counterspells.
