Interesting card, I would definitely sideboard it and maindeck force spike. But then again at its worst its instant speed cantrip for 
, even though you cant cast it unless a spell is on the stack.

I guess people are completely ignoring how situational this card is.
Most of the time it's going to be in your hand, useless because the opponent didn't tap out to cast their instant or sorcery. The rare occasion it works, that's great. But I'd rather spend the 2 extra most of the time and have the more-useful Runeboggle (or better yet, Complicate).
edit : in tourney, you have to gamble a lot more and HOPE that when you keep the mana open, your opponent will cast an instant or sorcery and the spell works. But when they cast artifacts, creatures, planeswalkers, or enchantments, you have a wasted precious cardslot in your hand.
Personally, I can not stand having a card in my hand that is useless, especially if I kept a land open for it, so again I'll go with the more reliable counterspell cantrips.
Also interesting how the Weatherlight version of this card is almost a full point lower rated on here.
When it came out, I was one of the only peo... (see all)

This card is never useless. Even If the opponent has no instants or sorceries you can cast it on your own spell and pay the 1 to replace it. I love it in my pauper MUC deck.
