For Challenge # 038. I figured that, since we didn't have a Blue/Red counterspell yet, I'd toss this one in the mix.

I figured this made a fair amount of sense with blue and red. If a spell says that it can't be countered, then it can't be countered. It wouldn't make sense to design cards that say things like "target spell which can't be countered happens to get countered anyway. Somehow." But throw a hissy fit that his counterspell didn't work? Yeah, that sounds about right.

Oh, yeah, that's pretty good. It's much the same as cancel, but can occasionally turn into a surprise lava axe.

Although I think the guidelines would say it needs to be 1RUU which is a bit depressing, as that makes it less clean.

Yeah, Double Negative still had to include the {u}{u}. This is a harder counter than a red-splash-blue deck would normally be able to cast.

Sad face... you're probably right. How about we update it to {u}{u}{r} and dropped the damage to 5...
