If I counter a legendary artifact spell, would I be able to cast a legendary creature spell?
Or is legendary something different than card type?

Utterly backbreaking if you pull this off right. I'm not sure how worth it it is to have normally-uncastable Blightsteel Colossi or Jin-Gitaxiases hanging around in your deck to go with this, but any of the horrifying six-drops that now populate Standard should suffice.
It's not even really the ability to drop your fatty for free. It's the HUGE swing in tempo. "Nice finisher you brought out. I'mma say 'NOPE' and put out my own instead, and btw it has de facto haste now." This thing is vicious.

It's pretty sweet to Counterlash into Iona. Definitely testing this thing in my UW Control.

I'll counter your Oblivion Ring and put out an Omniscience

"That ain't working. That's the way you do it! Money for nothing cause that casts for free."
Didn't Dire Straights sing about this card?

As a green/blue player I quite like this card. I just wish it did not have that pesky "from hand" clause. If it were just "you may cast a spell that shares a type with the countered spell without paying its mana cost then I could drop my EDH commander Maelstrom Wanderer off it.

Look again. It doesn't mention anything about color, just type.

Maybe not the best counterspell, but I'll always remember that one Two-Headed Giant game where my partner let me counter his Illness in the Ranks so I could drop my Omniscience on turn 5.

Always a great 2 for 1 in EDH, if limited in application.
