Card of the Day - Abject Refusal

Ah heck, why not I just spend a week talking about counterspell variants. Here's today's variant:

Abject Refusal
2UU
Instant
If you control an Island and this is the only card in your hand, you may play Abject Refusal without paying its mana cost.
Counter target spell.


All out to deny eh? It's free counterspell over again. I can't remember we having any since Foil except for Disrupting Shoal.

To those that think this is too good... well, maybe, but a blue mage wouldn't want to be caught without cards in his hand. Finding ways to make your hand empty to play this spell is the wrong way to play it. It's good when it's free, but it's dangerous too.
