Yeah, the wording doesn't indicate anything about intended uses or interactions with Counterbalance or other specific cards. As TexasDice noted, this is just the standard wording for a spell that can be countered on resolution due to invalid target selection. They use that wording to avoid the paradox that might stem from the situation where an "uncounterable" spell is countered by a state-based action. Supreme Verdict and other non-targeted cards are never going to be countered by a state-based action, so just saying "Cannot be countered" is fine in those cases.

This card is so unbelievably good in constructed.

Its another $40 to play Jund now. If you play you can't afford not to run this in any remotely competitive environment anymore. Its a great card, but these days the standard and modern formats are getting as stupidly expensive and narrow as vintage is. I honestly think this kind of environment is why so many people are playing EDH and other casual formats now. (Though with EDH's new popularity, its becoming stupidly expensive now too, with decks that run $600 worth of non-basic lands.)
The card is a 5/5, but my interest in magic outside of the kitchen table is dwindling.

Meet the card that took out the Counterbalance/top cheese in Legacy.
