Definitely going into my counterburn, no question. Free counterspell to hose their first turn... imagine someone paying god knows how much for a Sol Ring only to get owned by this.

@Mightysqueeth and the rest of the people calling for FoW to be banned in Legacy: Clearly you don't play much Legacy. If you did, you'd realise that Legacy would be completely unplayable if FoW weren't around. Spanish Inquisition and other combo decks that win on Turn 1 would run rampant. Legacy would be unplayable because whoever went first would win. FoW should never be banned in Legacy.

There is no excuse for this not be rated a 5/5.

This is going to shake things up a lot. And for only Phyrexian Blue...

Honestly, I am sad this is banned. Force of Will has been described as "The glue that holds type 1 together". This card is great, but it usually isn't anywhere near force of will. Against many desks, it might as well be a dead drop after the first few turns.

Where it shines are the ridiculous combo decks that infest type 1 like the plague. I am for almost anything that slows type one down, at least this card lets most 'fun spells' through. (Sorry to RDW and elves though).

This is probably a bit more powerful then it should be, but I think we do need something similar to slow things down. I really want something like this card that works, as Force of Will might as well read "Legacy decks must be blue, minimum two hundred dollars entrance fee"

I hope R&D tries something similar soon.

Legacy is pretty much the same as it was before mental misstep. The only difference is that every blue deck runs mental misstep and a lot of fun decks are now unplayable. Good bye elvles :'(

What? This is banned in legacy, and Force of Will isn't? Why, because you don't have to eat only instant ramen noodles for a couple months to afford a playset?
For Mox's sake, I know legacy isn't supposed to be fair, but they could at least pretend to be trying...

As a blue player I am very fond of counterspells. However, I believe that all the color pie not only should have one, but actually needs one. This card may be enough to bring zoo and other decks to the higher tiers of legacy, and tear control from standard. This is the card that will bring fun back to the game.
