Hey Timmy! You know those counterspells that those blue control players use? Well now, you can have one of your very own! It even works in all your decks with big creatures! (Read: all of them)

Oh great! Not only am I staring down the barrel of a 10/10 indestructible, permanent-annihilating monstrosity, but now I can't do anything about it.

The Eldrazi: Not just breakfast for Doom Blade anymore.

@coyotemoon: And what about when you're holding a hand of 2 vines and one of these, and no Eldrazi? I'm working on an Eldrazi deck and I can barely find room for 2 vines. You need to make sure you have enough actual threats (and ways of getting them out) before you worry about protecting them.

Say what you want, I think the Eldrazi are the most beautiful beasts in magic, masterpieces of death and destruction.

Pretty epic card... at first glance. But the mana cost is sure to deter most from using it over blue counters and/or Vines of Vastwood. Sure, it can be used in any deck. But a 7 mana counter-spell is not something most are willing to book a slot for - even for the sake of late-game creature-only defense. Making this card cost 2 or 3 mana and only counter abilities could have helped it see more play. A kicker ability could have then been added that countered spells that target creatures you control with power 7 or greater.

EDIT: I broke my cards out of the box yesterday to wax nostalgia and my wife gave this a try. She never had to leave mana open to protect her Eldrazi, primarily right after summoning it. While your opponent won't hesitate to use removal against your annihilators, this will always leave a sour taste in their mouth when they spend White for an easy exile/autoca... (see all)

I have a hard time seeing a card like this seeing play in a format that will always also have the far-more-versatile Vines of Vastwood. Vines can also save your tiny mana-accelerants to ensure you drop your Eldrazi ahead of schedule, and it can also pump. And we all know that green is going to be in an Eldrazi deck, so just ignore this card with its weird name and move on with your life.

Free counterspell as an uncommon? Not bad!
