Took the ability from Ecriot Plans, replacing Grimoire of the Don which was very close to the effect of Don Condri.
Feels overcosted at four, since it's pretty hard to use.
But on the flip side - can I target the stuff I exiled with it with the "This is an instant, honest" cards?
You mean like Cunning Wish? No, for two reasons - firstly, Exiled cards are still in the game; secondly, you can't demonstrate that the card has the required quality.
It gives you potentially about four free counterspells over the course of the rest of the game. It lets you tap out and still be free to counter or do random other stuff if your opponents do anything. I wouldn't say that's undercosted.
No, I mean exile a creature card, then when someone casts a spell the right size, make it an instant so that I can bring it out.
Ah, with type-changing cards. No, because none of them can target exiled cards.
And not with (((Ecriot Concealer))) either, since it explicitly states "GY"
