Free counter, for when you need it most. If people are voting less than 4 on this, they don't understand the card and what deck it goes in. Oh btw, I'm running 2 of these and 4 Vines for those who think this is a replacement for Vines.

@ZEvilMustache: This probably doesn't count, but I was once defeated by a pink token from Water Gun Balloon Game.

I was at a tournament recently, and someone was using this to counter deathtouch abilities. Is this legal?

Looks like a Halo card to me

This card is seriously underrated. I run 4x of these in my UG Polymorph deck, as It's essentially FREE protection for my win conditions (Emrakul, Ulamog, Kozilek, Iona). It stops commonly seen answers like:
- Path to Exile
- Maelstrom Pulse
- Doom Blade
- Oblivion Ring
- Journey to Nowhere
- Into the Roil
- Jace, the Mind Sculptor (Unsummon ability)
- Gideon Jura (Assasinate ability)
- Ajani Vengeant (tap-down ability)
... and many more.
Moreover, I can occasionally hardcast this card to protect other permanents (made much easier with Eldrazi Temple and/or Eye of Ugin). For example, it can stifle a Tectonic Edge/a... (see all)

I think using 2 of this card with kozilek works best. When you cast kozilek and draw your 4 cards its a great free counter spell to be drawn and cast to keep your big buddy on the field long enough to atack with that anniliator 4.

it counters anything targeting your permanents, so it's not meant to just save your eldrazi, but your planeswalkers or that critical combo card. the cmc is already colorless so you don't need mana commitment, and then giving it for free as a secondary ability just makes it even sweeter. yea it's costly, but not a problem in rise or vintage. 4/5

Question:
Somebody targets my kiln fiend with a doom blade. In response, i cast 2 instants making his power 7. Then can I cast this to counter the removal spell for free?
If I can, that kick's booty!

Awesome, and not just for Eldrazi.
There are 164 cards with power 7 or greater as of today when I searched gatherer! That's just the number of cards with a power 7 or greater printed on them; this card can also be used for free if it's protecting a creature whose power has been modified to equal 7 or greater.
