See Mana Denial.

by Tahazzar:

Wait, so a strictly better version of both Mana Tithe and Force Spike with an additional positive ability on top of all that? I would prolly except this to have a CMC of 3 or at least 2, where it would still highly compete with Mana Leak.

by dude1818:

No, it's worse than Force Spike. This spell costs more but their next spell costs less. However, in any reasonable situation you don't cast a taxing counterspell unless your opponent is out of mana, so the downside will never matter

by Vitenka:

Well, the second ability can be a sort of an upside. Re-read it as "Discard a card with CMC 0/1 to add {2} / {1} "

I guess the only case where it's a downside is when the opponent only has 1 mana up; because then they have 3 for the next spell.

by continuumg:

Yup. You could also combo it with a spell that can’t be countered for an extra mana. But I mean, you’re wasting this card on a pretty weak ritual, then.
