Pretty sure this doesn't work under the current rules, but I think it's a cool concept.

Probably works more simply "If this would be countered, instead deal 2 damage to that creature" but a flip is kinda cool.

I like it. The meaning is very clear, like many flip cards that are fiddly within the rules. The only rules problem is that they don't currently define what happens to a flip card on the stack, but it wouldn't be hard to enhance them so they do.
