I love blue, but I hate playing counter spells. Something about them just feels so UNFAIR. Call me old-fashioned. Call me courteous. Call me stupid, I don't care.
This spell, however, seems to have the perfect curve. Playing it feels more like playing Unsummon over something like Doom Blade. Plus, it does what blue does best (in my opinion) - it lets you draw a card.

To be honest, unless it goes to the graveyard or gets exiled, I wouldn't refer to it as a "hard counter".
This is a really good spell, but I prefer a good ol' Memory Lapse. Every time I look at the homelands art I go DURRRRRRRRR

Use it to "reset" the storm spell you just cast.

Blue mages are too daft to realize they aren't actually winning the game, they're just annoying their opponent. This card is absolute garbage. Counterspell is better, hell Cancel is better, at least it rids the problem, this just buys you a turn, sometimes not even that. Oh you're going to Remand my edict? Kk recast edict same turn. Big whoop. .5/5
@Lifegainwithbite Judging my intellect by my rating of a shit card? That just proves how stupid and immature you are. Good players know this card sucks. Now *** off you annoying troll.

Item 1: Mana Leak not being reprinted in M13

Its kind of like a mana short with a cantrip for 1 less mana. Stupid overpowered, they need to playtest their cards more.

This card is awesome with snapcaster mage! In my BUG tempo deck, this is my target for most of my snapcasters.
Works well together with rune snag since you are drawing more cards, stalling your opponent and making him want to tap out more often to recast. snapcasting rune snags is lame because then the next one does less.
Snapcasting Remand is better than casting venser, shaper savant as well since you draw a card and venser is somewhat playable as he is in my deck.
If you are running snapcasters, play Remand as well. Between remands cryptic commands rune snags/mana leaks and snapcaster, your opponents should have trouble keeping up with the tempo!
Cards that cost 3+ mana are PAINFUL to cast when playing against this card!
