If your counterspells keep getting forked, all you can do is tell your opponent, "Fork you!"

Hovercraft: Anyone who has interest in any Alpha cards knows that with some of them, it's beyond normal game statistics. They're antiques, art objects. They aren't coming back. They're rare and collectible. Fork is a Reserved Listed Alpha Rare. There might even be fewer of them in existence than Black Lotus, since Black Lotus was more likely to get cared for. They could print an actual Functional Fork (even turns the spell Red), and it would not affect Fork too badly, because Fork is actually Real Rare, not just 'expansion symbol says Rare but there's millions of them'.

My favorite plays with Fork were...
Opponent: Ill counterspell that!
Me: I'll counterspell your counterspell (fork)
or
Opponent: I'll Ancestral Recall myself
Me: Me too! Yay! (fork)

That's not a fork, that's not even a trident.

Fork is best when used with Sleight of Mind or Alter Reality.
Reverberate would be better used with Vodalian Mystic, Illusion, or Blind Seer.
THEY ARE FUNCTIONALLY DIFFERENT IN THE WAY YOU'D GET PAST PROTECTION.
If you're using Fork, you change the text so the spell it pops out is white, if what you want to kill is say, pro-red.
If you're using Reverberate, you need to change the color of the permanent you will be targeting with your reverberated spell, seeing as you'd never be able to target the pro-whatever permanent and THEN change the color of your copy.
I'd have to say I like Fork more. You can rely on the copy being red, and you would give a little less indication of what's going to happen if you Fork AND THEN change color text. If you change spell/permanent color and then Reverberate, your friends will know for sure what's about to happen. Not to mention... (see all)

Looks like a giant arrow pointing leftward toward the bolt that the two charged particles are coming together to make.
If Wizards ever really wants to give the finger to its own reprint list, they'll create an instant for 
that says "Copy target instant or sorcery spell; you may choose new targets for the copy. Oh, and the targeted spell becomes red."

I once played Fork on a Berserk and Woolly Thoctar. The Thoctar came out on turn two with the help of a Birds of Paradise. Fork also combines well with Regrowth.

A Feynman diagram on a card!
Back in revised, this was a really expensive card, one of the powerful chase rares of the set, like 15$ or something...
Now you can get it for a few bucks, and Reverberate is seen as jank. :(

@Nighthawk42: Good. Everyone hates the reserved list; I honestly think that something in the area of 99% of players would be happy if WotC just announced tomorrow that they were going to ignore it and reprint whatever they wanted.
It's not like the lack of a place on the reserved list has kept Baneslayer Angel and the like from becoming hugely expensive. Just reserve the Power Nine (which it would be insane to reprint anyway) and unreserve everything else.
