Yes, that was a very nice counterspell war. Now stop it, all of you.

If only this card had storm itself rather than being able to target multiple spells. Since it can be countered as easy as any spell. Any storm deck that was able to get enough mana to draw and play 20 spells can easily play a few counter spells to ensure their combo goes off.
Though you might not be able to stop a storm deck at the final stages, you still have hope of stopping the combo on the 3rd spell. Which makes this card completely free, even more free than Force of Will.
This is only good against combo decks though. Might be worth sideboarding. I definitely sideboard a couple in my High Tide storm deck in case someone slips in a storm card in response to mine.

Man this card just takes a fat dump all over storm decks.

Ok, so it isn't as useful as it first appears. But is 2UU not worth it when someone tries to hardcast an ETAT or a Banefire? I see many peoples songs changing key when this baby makes an "uncounterable" spell bite the curb with the rest of the garbage! 5/5. 'Nuff said.

Just pulled one and I immediately understand why it's mythic.
This is the only card in existence (that I know of) that can shoot down any number of the BS 1st turn kill combos.
Imagine some player with more money than brains laying down one of the ridiculous 1st turn vintage combos with $7,000 worth of cards, and once he finishes explaining the combo and looks to you to concede that you just lost, you simply drop this onto the table and make a dismissive sweeping gesture with your hand as if to say, "Get that shit out of here.".
That's right, ass-hole, your seven thousand dollars just got whomped by four bucks. >:)
Not to mention the fact that it shuts down any number of other combos that can occur later in the game with multiple sorceries that wind up killing you.
5/5 any day of the week. Not only is it a stack-flusher but it's the great equalizer against 1st turn players with insane amounts of disposable income.

@Fighter: yeah, very no. A card is only the spell when it's on the stack. Basically, this is a very good 4-cost counterspell.
I still don't get why it's Mythic. Rare, yes, but not mythic.
Oh well.

The best part about this card is because of its trap nature it has a place in the sideboard of a wide variety of decks - not just blue control.
