I need some formatting help with this card's memory ability. As it is now, it doesn't sound right, but I don't think there's another card that's close enough to this to template off of.

Suggest:

Memory — Counter target spell unless there are fewer than five cards in exile and the spells controller pays {2}.

Changed the Memory ability to "pays 100"

This is a tricky card to template because I want the memory ability to just flat out be a straight Counterspell. But that's difficult to put into game language that doesn't sound redundant or contradictory. Having the player pay {100} might feel like something from an un-set, but it sounds better and gets the point across. What do you guys think?

I think it'd read a lot clearer if it said:

> Memory - If there are five or more cards in exile, instead counter that spell.

or if you really want:

> Memory - If there are five or more cards in exile, instead counter that spell unless its controller pays {100}.
