Is it a theme that the main effect and the avalanche kicker are glue-gunned together rather than meaningfully playing into one another?
On some cards ( e.x. Obliterating Cold and White Death) Avalanche is a pumped up version of the original. I wanted to try and incorporate Avalanche onto more cards, but some were harder to power up, like this counter spell. For situations where I wanted to Avalanche, but the base of the spell couldn't be powered up, I tried to tack on ability.
Changed Avalanche from tapping a creature as a bonus to allowing you to counter any spell instead. This way the avalanche is a powered-up version rather than something tacked on.
