This card is not useless. Put this in a good mill deck and it could be of great help.

Would have been pretty usable for its main ability if it didn't cost so much or didn't reset the graveyards when it came into play, and if you need graveyard removal, there are obviously much better cards out there. Could be worth using in a mill deck though, especially if you remove the drawback for yourself with cards that shuffle your graveyard into your library like Feldon's Cane or the Eldrazi titans.

Kryptnyt is correct. A3Kitsune and Ratoly are incorrect
404.3. A triggered ability may read "When/Whenever/At . . . , if (condition), (effect)." The ability checks for the stated condition to be true when the trigger event occurs. If it is, the ability triggers. On resolution, the ability rechecks the condition. If the condition isn't true at either of those times, the ability does nothing. This rule is referred to as the "intervening 'if' clause" rule. Note that the word "if" has only its normal English meaning anywhere else in the text of a card; this rule only applies to an "if" that immediately follows a trigger condition.

@Ratoly; no that doesn't work. This triggers when something is cast, and if its already been cast at that point, ____ won't help unless you knew it was coming and did it before they cast it

If this was printed more recently, I'd say it was intended to shut down Pyromancer Ascension.
Though a good ol' Naturalize or Bojuka Bog would probably work better.

@Kryptnyt:
No. The combo works. Activate the name-change ability in responce to the Bazaar's ability triggering and it will resolve first. Then the Bazaar will counter the spell.
