Seems like a lot of effort to create a mind game that instead usually just ends up being a combo with Bloodlust Inciter etc.
I don't see how does it combo with e.g. Bloodlust Inciter though; if there isn't something I'm failing to see, all it would do is destroying Bloodlust Inciter upon having it target something of the chosen name (the thing that gets destroyed is not the targeted permanent, but the creature whose ability targets)
That's super not clear. It reads like you're destroying the targeted creature. Maybe try "when a permanent with the chosen name becomes the target of an ability, counter that ability and destroy its source"
Changed "destroy that creature" to "destroy the source of that ability". Added "or planeswalker"."
Changed it (restricting the source to creatures and planeswalkers. It doesn't feel right that a sniper may kill, say, an enchantment or some such). It was not the intention to also counter the ability though.
