"spell's power"
This will probably be the only entry in Gatherer for quite some time when you search this combination of words.

What a back breaker! A great card for an Izzet deck that wants to bring you ever closer to fireball range.

Ajani's ability cannot be countered with the Essence Backlash. The ability is not a spell.

"Oh look you milled me with your Dimir deck and want to throw out Consuming Aberration for some additional hate?, nope."

This is just too situational for me. It is twice the casting cost of Essence Scatter and while the damage it deals is nice, having to leave four mana up for a counter that can only stop creatures just isn't worth it.
2/5

So with something like Crusader of Odric or Maro, the power is calculated on the stack, correct? I'm really surprised there isn't a card ruling note on this. I believe that the power is calculated while it's on the stack. I'm sure this will come up in the prerelease with Wayfaring Temple and Pack Rat.

It's a Lightning Bolt staples to a Cancel, pretty much. Sometimes, It's even better. I see it being used in a variety of formats, although maybe not standard.
