Garruk: "Go forth, Leatherback Baloth!"
Jace: "No. Go back from whence you ca-"
SHUSH.
Jace's eyes turned to the tiny little creature at Garruk's left knee. He eyed the goblin for a moment, and watched as the Leatherback behemoth appeared before him.
Garruk: "Attack!!"
A mighty rumble shook the earth as the massive creature rumbled towards the astonished Jace. A green glow appeared in Garruk's callused hand- Jace recognized this. It was a Giant Growth spell he was forming.
Jace: "Absolutely not! I-"
SHUSH!!
The little creature again interrupted the mage.
Jace: "Well how is that fair?!"
Garruk: "Life isn't fair. Just ask my father."

Who would think that one of the most powerful anti-countermagic cards in the game would be... a goblin? =D

A blue hoser card made from both of blue's enemies. What else could you expect?

I bet this sees a lot of play in Legacy.

Donovan/ I do not know if you were commenting in perspective of standard/extended/or legacy . .
but I would say that Vexing Shusher is very very useful in legacy where a lot of decks carry
Force of wills and Daze. The biggest problem in the legacy was that blue can simply counter almost all spells and there weren't many effective 'cannot be countered' spells to play.
Even now, many tournament winning decks are mono blue or very heavy blue splashed with green for Tarmogoyf. For example in one legacy tournament in Amsterdam, the 3 out of the top 4 players used mono Blue fish decks. Vexing Shusher is very very useful if it is combined with multiple cards such as
Red Elemental Blast and Spell Bane Centaur. Yes, it is vulnerable to other colors such as Swords to Plowshares, and Lightning bolt but they are not the main problem if Blue has the capacity to win the tournament all by its... (see all)

Really a nice design. My favorite counter-control hosers, and pretty likely the best one so far.
(If you need protection in a deck that's neither red nor green, you'll have to rely on Boseiju)
It doesn't even hurt having it in the maindeck.
In your Goblin Deck you can tutor it with Goblin Matron (or hope for the Ringleader),
and in any green Deck (which likely includes your Shaman Tribal) you can fetch it with Green Sun's Zenith.

I think the most savory thing about this card is that it shushes Last Word. :P
