Indeed. You can take it as a hint that a good way to use it is to reset Geassed-ness; from my point of view it's more that the most sensible way to reset Geassed-ness is to flicker the creature :)
It's Cloudshift in blue. Not sure if promotion to uncommon is enough to justify being able to use this on opposing creatures too; that's always cost at least 2 mana before (Turn to Mist, Flickerwisp, Flicker itself). But this is less useful than Turn to Mist on opponents' stuff... so I might be inclined to try it here?
Rather pleasingly, not only does this remove all the cards with literal type Geass, but it'll also undo all control-change effects whether temporary or permanent.
I could allow this to target any Geass spell, but I'd rather not make a horrendously narrow counterspell like Hisoka's Defiance or Ertai's Trickery.
Mechanic-wise, this could be common, but for the flavour and gameplay I'd rather this not be happening hugely frequently.
Oooh, Flash Counter++
Kinda odd that the best way to geass a second thing will sometimes be to ungeass something first. But you can't have all the flavour :)
Also, hmm, this won't undo the "Cannot be re-geased" thing. Not sure if that's intentional or not; but memory issues...
Well, yes, but Negate and Dispel have both rather thoroughly obsoleted Flash Counter.
Oh, wait, I recall how I was going to do this...
Ah, a flicker with an obvious-use hint. Like it.
