Excellent card. Cancel is more flexible, but in a G/U deck, this is way better. And super fun!

"I think that what Champion_Kitsune meant is that the added green mana cost makes it more restrictive in terms of which decks can use it." -CatsAreCthala
Between the decks that can use it, none of them should, Daze, Force of will, and stifle are all better choices.

Well I really like thie versatility of this counter... enough that I always make room for one or two in my Tezzeret's Vault deck... it just stops everything. Sure the casting cost of three is rather expensive for my deck (relatively to others cards that are into it) but how many times did this one saved me from losing a game or allowed me to completely screw my opponent's combo... Moreover, this card is almost never completely dead.. at almost any moment during a game you can find a use for it. Be creative :)

I use this in my blue/green deck along with Venser, Shaper Savant and Time Stop. I love all three of these because they stop some of the most impossible shenanigans in this game.

Are Planeswalker abilities considered activated abilities? In that case, could this stop a planeswalkers ultimate as the opponent would gloatingly cast it?

@IshubarashI: They didn't have Flash tech at the time, so it would've been too long. I hope they reprint this like that!

Yes they are, and yes it can. They remove the counters as a cost, though, so those stay gone. Just the effect is absorbed by the ooze.
And seconding the person who said this should've been a 0/0 Ooze with flash. I mean, then it'd get shut down by Humility, but I DON'T CARE.
