Abjure lets you sac a token to make a token.

Counter seven spells, get one free!
In other words, this card is unfun.

Notice that he turns card-neutrality of counterspells into card advantage. Even better is the eventual card advantage if you have/maintain 7 merfolk.
The nice thing about it is that most boardwipes you'd receive for over-extending will be dealt with.
Slice and Dice to counter :D

Intruder Alarm and you've soft-locked the board.
@nope.avi: That's about right lol

Supreme Verdict and Abrupt Decay are some of the few answers to this guy once he gets online.

I use him with Judge of Currents and Stonybrook Schoolmaster in my modern merfolk deck. I get seven life and at least two tokens if I have those two out when I counter.

In a tribal wizards deck running Conspiracy or Xenograft, I'd sac a creature to Voidmage Prodigy and have it replace itself through this guy's ability.

This. Followed Footsteps. One counter gives you a merfolk token for each copy you have out. No new spells. Period.

....Compare with Ertai, Wizard Adept. Having seven untapped Merfolks seems way harder than having four mana, even with his Merfolk-making ability.

Combine this guy with Talrand, Sky Summoner to get both a Merfolk Wizard AND a Drake token from your counterspells. Imagine a mono-blue counterspell/token deck with those guys at the core! Sounds pretty fun, right?
Also, I'm sad that the tokens he makes aren't "Merfolk Wizard" tokens, like with all the other Merfolk token producers. =( If that were the case, this guy would have been absolutely PERFECT in a Wizard deck, with Patron Wizard and Voidmage Prodigy!
