The art, it's so pretty, but on a mediocre counterspell...

I was saving this card's picture for the art only to realize I already have it. o.o

It depends greatly on the type of deck you're playing and facing. It's better than Cancel in combo for sure, and probably is against decks that tap out for huge threats, since they'll pass the turn and you'll essentially have gained access to an extra card half a turn before them. Anywhere else it's worse than Cancel. This is the sort of card design I love--tried and true with a very simple twist. Also, the art is awesome.

Artwork is stunning, even more so in person, running 3 of these in my mono blue permission deck, great card!

The biggest problem I find with counterspells is they don't scale well into multiplayer. Psychedelic omelet here is one of the few exceptions for this rule: resolving this, you have eliminated a threat at no expense of card advantage, while with Cancel, for example, you're putting yourself one card behind everyone else (except the owner of the countered spell, of course).
Whether it is better or worse than Arcane Denial, that extra U in the cost makes all the difference in the world, as does the extra card. I'd say that puts them beyond comparison, IMO, since their aims are, respectively, to be a cheap counterspell and to be a counterspell at no CA loss. Apples and Mirran Gelfruit.
