love this card. a bit expensive for a counter spell, but a great way to catch your opponent off guard.
Opponent: "Oh, you're tapped out? Ill play this super awesome win card that you cant stop!!"
You: "Pact of Negation."
Opponent: :(

This is a brilliant card. The opponent won't know what hit him.

@ Joseph_Leito, that is a sick combo and you should burn in Phyrexia for all eternity for putting in my brain. Must buy... 4 of each... >_<

@markov61,
What sane player would use this against a Traumatize (something that isn't beating them this turn), when they can see there's a Sorin Markov ready to ultimate off on the board? I don't think you quite thought that through.

The best friend of combo insta-win. This is meant to be played on extended where is the only viable counter for 0 mana. Of course vintage has force of will, daze, etc but this card doesnt need you to have islands into play or another extra blue card. One of the things that limit combo instant kill decks is that they need to play FoW/Daze to make sure they survive and requires them to have another blue card on hand or situationally countering.
PoN doesnt require any of those, its an non restrictive/situational counter for exactly 0 mana if played on the proper deck, it doesnt even require you to be playing blue, this card can be splashed on combo decks that needs to ensure they dont get their decisive card be countered.
Probably the best non restricted counter for combo players out there, 5/5, no ext legal counter can beat this.

Like a Force of Will except for the turn after you exile Storm Crow, he goes ballistic on you if you don't the non-alternative cost for Force of Will.
WARNING: This comment is not funny if you don't know/understand/like the Storm Crow joke.

Countering while being tapped out is nothing new. Still I prefer Daze, Foil and, obviously, Force of Will to do the job. All of them allow you to counter on turn 1 (except for daze, turn two), while you'll have to be at turn 4 to play this one, at least, and next turn all you'll be tapped out for a start.
