I do believe it says "may" draw 2 cards ... overloading my hand be damned!

More love for this card, please!!

It's a hard counter which does not cost {U}{U}!

Yes, I'm aware card draw can give strong advantages, but still, this is so nicely splashable, and a slowtrip for you too.

Also, yes, the RKF art is brilliant.

I imagine the best trick here would be to cast this to counter your own spell that just got countered. Oh, you're countering my spell? Here, let me do that for you.

Ideatog is on it.

I run this with Fows and Isochron Scepters in an Armageddon deck, purely just to shut the other player up and get to my combo faster. Slap it on an Isochron Scepter and I burn through my deck(or yours) with ease. I can counter my memnite or Shield Sphere, and get 3 cards during my opponent's turn for 2 mana!

Drawback aside, this is, pure and simple, a good card IMO. I mean, sure, your opponent draws 2 cards at the beginning of the next turn's upkeep, but you hard counter a spell - creature or non-creature, and draw 1 card at the beginning of the next turn's upkeep for a splashable 1Blue (as opposed to the BlueBlue for Counterspell, or the costs of 1BlueBlue and higher for similar hard counters, and those that hard counter + let you draw).

Not to mention you can take advantage of the fact that the countered spell's caster draws 3... and that it's a ****ing COMMON.
