Should this cost {1} less?

by Jack V:

As written, it's weaker than Mana Tithe (which usually has an upside in blue).

What were you intending for this? Does it need both drawbacks at the same time? If not, it could say "Counter target spell. You can't cast this if a creature attacked this turn." That's weaker than Cancel, but not by much, so it would probably cost UU or 1UU with an upside?

by Alex:

Any soft counter (counterspell with a way out for the opponent) should be Cancel or cheaper. If you're allowing the opponent to pay {1} , in fact this should only cost {u} : Force Spike.

by Vitenka:

Yeah; is this meant to be "Force spike, unless we've had an attack; in which case Cancel" maybe? That can still be cheaper than this, though. (And, wow - common counterspell. Albeit a crappy one.)

by Izaac:

Counterspells can be common. Negate is a common. Yes, this was supposed to be a force spike, unless something has attacked in which case it's cancel.

So, encourages attacking before casting other spells. Really helps fight end of turn things. Can be used during an opponents turn if they attacked you.

Also fights combat tricks quite well.
