Each Time Spiral card was an homage to at least one previously printed card.
This card references Voidmage Apprentice and Voidmage Prodigy; those creatures could counter spells, this creature gets to Stifle abilities!

"What's that, Jace? You're activating your ultimate? DENIED! (Oh dear, and you've seemed to have lost all your counters as well. At least, I think it works like that. They lose the counters to activate the ability, and Husher counters it, right?)"

Yes, that can be countered, and yes the counters are gained or lost as a cost. Activated abilities are anything with a Cost : Effect.
Such as strip mine's 
, Sacrifice Strip Mine: Destroy target land. They still pay the cost of tapping and sacing strip mine, but you can respond to the ability itself and counter that with this girl. She's amazing, and the ability to be reused when needed is just icing. She's comparable to Venser, Shaper Savant and in some cases, superior to him. 5/5 in my eyes.

A great sideboard card.
Besides, it's always funny when she hits the board... your opponent with that poker face: "uh... ok then."

Love when they say "I make my Thornling 7/1 with trample, haste and its indestructible, and I attack with it!" and then I say "sure, except its not indestructible and I block it with my new 2/2, good job dealing me 5 damage".
