Counter target non-creature spell.
Masters of the arcane savor a delicious irony. Their study of deep and complex arcana leads to such a simple end: the ability to say merely yes or no.
I took a note from Magic 2010 and added Negate to common in an attempt to stop potential bombs I didn't forsee in draft. In 2010, this was seen as a necessary evil and a way to stop Sleep and Overrun from getting out of hand. 20XX turned out to be strangely balanced in testing (well, balanced considering I expect everything to blow up when it gets tested for the first time, and this set didn't.) No real reason to pull Negate, though. It does a good job.
