While they read like niche color hate, the absurd efficiency of a one-mana counterspell/one-mana removal split card elevates this to an S+ sideboard card for red decks, and a mirror-beater for any blue deck capable of fetching Volcanic Island which is all of them

It might get interesting in Temur control as well, where it could support a strategy of ramping into threats while keeping the board under control

In this deck in particular, I recommend leaning heavily on creature-based ramp so we can take advantage of creature synergies: abilities like Duskwatch Recruiter, Domri Rade, and Lurking Predators become much more consistent card advantage if we have a high creature count

This slots perfectly into many already popular white mana decks, and it is impossible to argue against the potency of a spell like this one
