I love this card! Great variant on countermagic.

Thank you, sir! I do feel that, if Wizards printed this, it would instead read "Counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, its controller manifests it instead of putting it into his or her graveyard."

It's a nice variation on Reality Shift.

Very nice. Link, I was about to suggest that exact same template.

It's obviously worse than Counterspell and probably even Deprive and Stoic Rebuttal, especially now that it can't counter Supreme Verdict, but all of that is probably okay.

I'd compare it to Swan Song. One more mana for it to hit more things and weaken the token. And if it's not a creature spell being countered, it's harder to recur. Seems good enough to me.

Yeah, that's a better comparison.

I like how fans are already thinking up creative uses for a mechanic that just came out.

You don't do that yourself when you see a new mechanic? Unless it's a totally boring one (outlast), seeing a new mechanic tends to inspire me.
