While true that (as printed) it only affected blue interrupts and not instants, that's not too narrow practically speaking. Interrupts were used for "faster-than-fast effects" such as a counterspells, which are really blue's bread and butter. While most blue player will pay the life to keep at least one counterspell, it can really narrow down their options.

Excellent as a second turn drop against {U} control if you went first.
Otherwise it's just counter bait =/

Situationally good card. As with most color hating cards, this can be improved vastly with Painter's Servant (naming {U}).

Opponent sideboards this in to punish your all spell blue control deck.
You: "Ok, well since my hand is all blue instants, counterspell"
