Costs a lot but hey it is probably the funnest counterspell in the game.

I don't like this card as much as its 5-star rating. Saving 5 mana in case they play something big is too much for me. I'd rather play a Control Magic on their creature during my turn despite the summoning sickness problem. Control Magic also has the downside of being vulnerable to enchantment removal, but I simply don't consider either of them to be exceptionally good.

Looks like a magic orgy is going on in the picture...
Not as an insult, or an injury; for that matter.
.......
Come to think of it, the art is great, but it also looks like what would happen if a planeswalker took acid.

This is rumored to be in Commander's Arsenal. That's a fun thought. :)
That box has a couple issues- notably not very many Mono-Colored Staples. Barely 1 for each color, when it should have tried to fit 2 for each color, and then had 5 Gold Legends, and then had 3 Artifacts.
Then pick one of those 18 cards to take out so you can put Command Tower in.

A great card. Although I wonder if it's better in general than running Treachery and cheaper counterspells, and reserving the counterspells for non-creature spells when possible.

@Sironos: Army deserters in something like a civil conflict will often join the other side. I imagine that's what this is referring to.
