I honestly thought I would never see this card reprinted. Wow, thank you, WotC for tossing a bone to the counter players out there AND by finding a way to make this card's exile mechanics of interest given the graveyard theme of the set. Well done!

Agree with Gabriel422! You can't claim a corner-case for counter a "strictly better" discussion...

Nice reprint, Im very happy with this! I think they should reprinted this even in the Ravnica block, for counter those annoying dredge decks...!

4/5

Good reprint, and I'm surprised they haven't done it already. Though not always better than Cancel, it is always better than Faerie Trickery, I believe. Unless you have a way to find a use for an instant with the faerie creature type.

I'll see your flashback tactics and raise you a card that counters both iterations of the spell.

Also a delicious target in the mid-game for Snapcaster Mage.

DarthParallax, I can see your point, but "BlueBlueTap: Counter target spell" would be way overpowered-- Your opponent would never be able to get anything through after that. I could maybe see it if the cost also included discarding a card, or preferably discarding two cards. Or possibly with a really steep life cost (at least 4 or 5 life).

@Shane: No, what people mean is "strictly better". Quite confusingly, in context, "strictly better" means that one card is as good as or better than another in every possible aspect, without any regard for any other cards. Dissipate is strictly better than Cancel because Dissipate exiles the countered card. Never mind that Misthollow Griffin can be cast from exile but not from a graveyard. When we compare two cards directly, as is the case with "strictly better", we ignore all of the other 13,000+ cards in the game and how they would interact with the cards we're comparing.

tl;dr: "Strictly better" ignores all other cards.
