Blue's top answer to deal with creatures is counterspell, and rarely is there mono blue decks. At least he bypass's blue walls and immune to bounce spells and mind control / tapper auras.
3.5/5, strong answer to mono blue when it comes up.

Believe it or not, this saw a lot of standard tournament play in the Fires of Yavimaya-based aggro decks of the era.
In a particularly-legendary piece of lore, the local price of this card shot up to $5+ in the Orlando Florida area during the Nationals tournament in 2001, due to it being the only way for Fires decks to consistently defeat suddenly-popular blue prison decks with Static Orb and Opposition.
Magic needs a better chronicler of history. Who would ever think that some of the best players in Magic history paid $5 for this lowly limited-filler card? It really is awesome and beautiful how Standard and Legacy evolve between seasons.
