No one has said anything, but this art screams "leftover from alara." Mirrodin is a plane of metal, but I don't remember anything about etherium! If you look closely, this vedalken woman is almost completely metallic, something Mirrans typically can't say, and she has those hollow limbs. Her countering magic seems to be etherium too, but they could say it was water from the quicksilver sea, I guess.

Not a single one of your instances is a legal target for this spell. Day of Judgement, Slagstorm, and Armageddon are all spells that don't require targets. You're definitely going to want to take some time to learn how Magic cards work before you decide to label yourself as "patient."

Not too shabby, even if it is fairly conditional. Countering something for one mana is always fun.

Less fun then negating a Negate but still good

I can see this giving the finger to land destruction. Not that anyone runs land destruction now.

People say Mental Misstep was made for Steel Sabotage. Impatient people who don't know how to play Blue, anyway. Patient Blue players know better.
Day of Judgment? That's cute. Turn Aside.
Slagstorm targeting creatures? Simply adorable. Turn Aside.
Armageddon? Not even for the Mayans. Turn Aside.
Anything that targets so much as a single permanent of any type that I control and I don't like the spell?
Yep. You guessed it. Turn Aside.
5/5

It's almost entirely anti-removal tech. Even though i understand that everything that screws their removal for cheap is good... it still feels underwhelming. I'd prefer Confound or Hindering Light to this. But hey, it beats removal, other nasty tricks for only 
and is strictly better than intervene, so it can't be less than 3/5

My question is how does this work with like a Man-o'-War or a Kor Hookmaster type creature?
Also, if someone is countering one of your permanent spells... is that "targeting a permanent you control" and you can then Turn Aside their counterspell?
