This card well defines the problem with blue. Blue has to control the other colors, but obviously you give something to much control and it just runs rampant. The only way to fight blue however, is with cards that specifically affect blue things or use your own blue spells. How do you get past a counter spell? You either play you're own or have an anti counter spell card.
Why is this an issue?
If you look at vexing shusher, if you're playing against red vexing shusher is the equivalent of a grizzly bear, as its special abilities are totally mute against any other color except blue. The other problem is blue is not limited to counter spells, there's nothing stopping them from simply bouncing your shusher back to hand, mind controlling it, or removing it. The best anti blue card would have to have protection blue and uncounterability at least, and then it would still only be useful against blue decks.
Having said all that, this is about as good as you're going to get in ... (see all)

@streamhopper: Of course, if he were actually playing against Jace, he'd never even draw this in the first place. Stupid overpowered Jace.

Waiting just one turn to cast your stuff is much better than waiting three. Mana Leak.

@StreamHopper: I assume this was before Jace discovered Mindbreak Trap? Or Time Stop? Or even Trickbind?
Don't try to beat us at our own game.
