@sumbling1:
I actually have to agree with PhyreNinja. Here's why:
1) HE (or she) IS A FREAKIN' NINJA!!!
2) The question isn't what gives this ninja authority. The question is how Wizards would take it away.
3) Why don't we just look at the card? No oracle is going to convince me that something right in front of my face isn't there. Not one from Mul Daya, not one from Delphi, and certainly not one from The Coast.
4) Did you see number one?
@Kryptnyt:
May I refer back to number two? And with R&D's Secret Layer out, PhyreNinja is definitely right.

So if you use this on for example a Reckless Waif, does that mean once it hits the battlefield it can never transform?

4/5 stars for a very fun counterspell variant. Although it seems a little weak, it can help you save your own spells from being countered. Plus you can delay a spell for when you get a counter to deal with it (or when a card like Ertai untaps again). And using it on something like a Counter Spell effectively counters it. Using it on something like Shock is very beneficial, since if you can remove all your legal targets (i.e. yourself with something like Ivory Mask), your opponent has to use it on themselves or their creature(s). Quite fun.

First Printed version**
When target spell is successfully cast, put X delay counters on it. X cannot be 0.
During each upkeep of that spell's caster, remove a delay counter from the spell. If the spell has no delay counters on it, it resolves. ** first it just says delay then that spell resolves which indicates put it in the appropriate graveyard, BUT now look at the NEW wording
Target spell's controller exiles it with X delay counters on it. (target spell is "exiled" now pay attention)
At the beginning of EACH of that player's upkeeps, if that card is exiled, remove a delay counter from it. If the card has no delay counters on it, he or she puts it onto the stack as a copy of the original spell. as i read this the original spell is still exiled and a copy of that spell resolves EVERY UPKEEP it doesn't say anything else about this effect stopping
this is my as$umption please correct me

To BioPrince:
What you're saying won't work. The second paragraph of the oracle text refers to the card. The card is put on the stack as a copy of what it was originally cast as. Once it goes on to the stack, it is no longer in exile.

Cards like this are the reason I play red/green.

Counterspelling a Wrath of God or similar effect with this card at a multiplayer free for all game is priceless, it becomes a death sentence for the caster.
