zk3 "A counterspell is awfully situational..."
Situational? As in, they cast a spell? That situation? Seriously, what are you saying?
Edit: Using this, Dismiss, daze and Foil i managed to trick someone into to casting 2 extra spells they thought to sneak through. Without rewind, one would have. This game is just as much mental as it is "what your packing"
This counter is ridiculous and part of the reason no one wants me to play blue anymore. My playgroup hates on me fierce.

This is great on its own for keeping your mana open for extra counters, or plopping down some creatures with Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir and Leyline of Anticipation. And while of course it's not as good of a land untap card as things like Palinchron, it's still damn good. It feels so great to start out with 6 lands, play a High Tide, play a Rewind, play Teferi, then play Sphinx of Jwar Isle. For extra lulz, plop a Zephyr Sprite, then Rewind that, then play a second Sphinx.
Like I said, not the best land-untap card, and not the best counterspell either. But very good at both, and that makes it a great candidate for Counterspells 4-8.

That's a funny spell when you have lands like Dimir Aqueduct or Orzhov Basilica on the battlefield! :-)

Can't beat a free Counterspell. Well, maybe when you don't get the four mana for it (that seems to happen to me a lot).

It's only free after the refund. 4 mana for a counterspell is alot.

The point of this card is not necessarily to abuse the mana (as it is with most of the other "free spells", as zk3 pointed out) but to be able to play further counterspells after this one.

One slight problem: you can't counter something if they play before this card resolves.
