White Unsubstantiate. I didn't want to make it strictly worse than the Blue one (since it was already fairly bad), so I added an extra clause that makes it feel a little more white. Probably better in some cases, too.

Reads weird "That player can't cast spells with the same name as that spell this turn." causes less head scratches.

Obviously different but how about

> Exile target spell. Return it to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next end step.

I like that version, actually, though there might be some initial play/memory issues if a spell is countered during the end step. I especially like it because it prevents you from being able to discard the card with black spells while it's exiled - very cool philosophically (though it's highly unlikely to ever come up). I'll try your version first and if there are any issues that pop up with countering spells at end step, I'll switch it back to this version.

I was considering those end step 'exceptions', but since this is an uncommon I would see them more as a "feature" rather than a bug.

This gets around Last Word. There's a reason why Remand says "Counter target spell. If you do..." Whether or not that's important to you, though, is up to you.

The aforesaid Unsubstantiate gets around Last Word as well so..?
