This card is pretty lame. Especially since Counterspell gets the job done and uses 1 less mana. Honestly. This card is REALLY lame.

I wish it had flavor text, but otherwise, it's a solid card.


Not every card has to be an uber-powered gamebreaker, guys.

People who think this card needs flavor text obviously don't understand what it is to play MUC. Yes, Counterspell was infinitely better. No, I will never use Cancel in any format where Counterspell is legal.

There are better options than Cancel. Always.

It's a fair, balanced counterspell, which is probably why blue players hate it.

Counterspell is, in my opinion, not overpowered. After all, when they're printing stuff like Goblin Guide, Baneslayer Angel and Jace, Mind Sculptor (to be released in worldwake) can they really say counterspell is overpowered?

I don't see the problem with this spell other than cost and often by endgame, I'm sitting on a mana store enough to shame any green player. You get the ability to counter ANYTHING for 3 mana. It's a slim price for such a tide-turning effect.

While I know that Counterspell is strictly better than this card, I keep picking up copies of Cancel because I absolutely love this art.
