Mindbreak put the brakes on Tendrils of Agony combo kills in Eternal formats.

When I play Tendrils Storm in Legacy, I organize my entire game 2-3 gameplan around "how do I make sure they don't mindbreak me?" (Unless I'm playing versus permission control, which has a more robust set of counterspells, of course.)

Zoo decks in colors RedGreenWhite run 3-4 Mindbreaks in the sideboard to use against Tendrils combo. It's brutally effective, and it makes playing games 2-3 more exciting for both players; nonblue decks like Zoo aren't an automatic pushover for Storm anymore.

Congrats to Wizards' R&D--this card was perfectly designed for Legacy.

And I thought that 2BlueBlue for "Exile target spell" was good...

I like to imagine this card as the cardboard incarnation of this guy: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5059/5568765167_9d930ecf56.jpg

Hey, it gets around things that can't be countered, like Last Word, or Thrun, or anything being cast with Cavern of Souls

The art for this is so amazing.

Cast this after your opponent casts it targeting your Counterflux.
