: Exile target spell with converted mana cost X. Flip Trusted Apprentice.
Creature – Rat Wizard

For Challenge # 069
Iiiinteresting. So it's a counterspell (well, Spell Blast) sitting on the table, but just one; and once it fires off, if you have black mana too then it can do a Panoptic Mirror thing, costing you mana but working on your opponents' spells.
I like it a lot. I can see it getting some tournament play in the same way that Spell Burst did: drop two or three of these as a counterspell wall on the table, and whatever you counter you can then channel at EOT. (For that matter, yikes, use it to catch a Wrath of God or something and then have that available at instant speed. Or even an actual counterspell itself. Imagine one of these imprinting Remand: yikes.)
(Nice use of colour indicator on the flipped side, BTW.)
Thank you. I wasn't sure about requiring black mana, the effect is only a little bit black, but I felt the flavour of flipping apprentice into traitor wasn't to be missed.
You're right about remand, I'm not sure exactly how strong the effect will be. At least opponent can see it coming and potentially play around it.
