Definitely a poor man's Force of Will. It's my favorite counter after Force of Will and I run 4 of these along with 4 Daze in my mono blue casual deck (yes, I'm a casual player).

Come to think of it, in a UB deck, this rocks with Grim Discovery. nothing wasted really :D

THE card for the aspiring Blue mage that just can't shed the 30 or so bucks (*isn't up to date with the market*) to pick up one Force of WIll. And it's pretty cheap to boot.

Synergizes very well with Daze. Though...only if you don't need land.

@SleetFox:
Actually, back in Prophecy foil cards already existed. They were introduced in Urza's Legacy...
Nice alternative to the FoW...
4/5

Any of the no-mana-necessary counters aren't bad to have, because being tapped out makes people think you either don't have a counter or you're taking a chance on not being able to play one. They see you're tapped out and they get aggressive.
Later on in a game, the discard's not a big deal, especially if you've got some kind of card draw engine going.

Important note on this vs. Force: Force makes you exile the card, this one just makes you discard them both.
