For Challenge # 073, combining Challenge # 022 and Challenge # 038.
This could have been impossible if "no mana cost" had already been used in #38, but it looks like
was used but {} wasn't, so they meshed quite well.
The biggest problem is making a land counterspell splashy enough to be mythic, without it being so annoying people hate it. I decided to make it "counter spell which targets you or a permanent you control" so it's less proactive. I reluctantly made it repeatable as a one-off unconditional counterspell would be very strong (even if it cost lots) but not very splashy. But I added "sacrifice a creature" so the opponent has some chance to prevent you paying the cost by killing your creatures.
You've got the sacrifice on the wrong side of the colon. At the moment, this is a free counter per turn to a creatureless deck.
Oops, thank you.
