Wait, all the lands in my hand are Cancels as well? Oh boy, that's crazy nasty. Repeatable counterspells are dangerous. Even Forbid is deceptively powerful. This is why Fervent Denial is so lackluster.

Yeah, this is gonna be seriously un-fun; since there's basically no way to get rid of it. At the very least this should exile on its second use; and even then wants to cost a fair bit more.

IIRC there was a discussion whether a single land that had the ability to be discardedas a Cancel was too oppressive for simply not using a spell slot. That's tame by comparisson.

You took the one effect not to mix with retrace and put it on a card with retrace.

I've been wondering when y'all would find this one.

Mm, still significantly better than Cancel. But it costs as much as Cancel so it's not a proper Counterspell so I give it a pass. (But most wouldn't)
