Snaxme is right, Hideous End Maybe good, since it can still deal the two damage to the player, even if the spell does not kill the creature, but here we have a counterspell that can both negate A spell and bolt the person, all in the same turn!! So if you're up against a BLACK DECK, and you're using HIDEOUS END to GET RID OF THEIR CREATURES, then yes, you have a pH. D in "Duuuuuuuh" from UMN, the University of MTG Noobs...

Hideous End instead of Undermine?! Are you daft?! This is a counterspell, which can negate ANYTHING, while it's being cast. Hideous End is a second rate removal spell (creature only, might I add), who's only redeeming factor is being cheap (money wise), and causing the enemy to lose 2 life.
So, you, good sir, are an idiot.
EDIT FOR GREAT JUSTICE: If Wizards goes forward with Overextended, I'd bet my left testicle this will see play. OFF TO GET A PLAYSET I GO.

Undermine is great, but we're all forgetting the most important part- the AWESOME flavor text.

There was a mega cycle of rare, multicolored counterspells in the Invasion block. Mystic Snake, Absorb, this, and Suffocating Blast. This is clearly the best one.

There is now, Bump in the Night. But yeah, I get your point. Then there is This + Absorb back in Shards block in the form of Punish Ignorance. A fun, yet too color intensive, spell.
