I guess you got ninja'd by me xD I posted on the forum for it about the Shusher. The other ones are really only good as one-time uses :/

Thank you for the comment! :D

Gaea's Herald, Gaddock Teeg, Choke, and Ruric Thar, the Unbowed are some that come to mind.

Fantastic, those are great! I think Choke might be a bit too situational as the majority of players play multicolored decks in commander, so it might not be as good...

Mindsparker is kinda cool as well, and i super love Eyes of the Wisent too. instead of choke/monsoon maybe Boil and Boiling Seas.

Boil and Boiling Seas fit the same bill as Choke but I think the other two are great! Thanks!

Where's Gaea's Revenge?

Maringam, not sure why I didn't think of those types of cards when I designed the parameters, but cards that only stop counterspells on themselves could be useful. At first I thought that they should fall under what the deck does not include, but they are probably pretty effective at hurting control players. Do you think this is an accurate evaluation?

I see - I guess i've just been taught to always think that "CANT BE COUNTERED CANT BE TARGETED BY HARD REMOVAL" was super anti-control lol - that does however make sense. :) Thanks for responding!

I mean the combination of those two seem pretty obnoxious, so I'll add anything with can't be countered and hexproofish. Do you think cant be countered spells are good enough too?

Consider Seedtime. It's quite underrated.

Seedtime can potentially give you a full turn with no counterspells if your opponent taps out at the end of your turn to play stuff. I like it. :) thanks

I like the list. Ought to link Autumn's Veil in the description, maybe also link or at least mention your related lists MagicalHacker - List of All Counterspell Cards, MagicalHacker - List of All Anti-Tutor Cards, and MagicalHacker - List of All Anti-Infinite Cards? They may have a similar audience.

Huh, that's weird. Sometimes I've noticed that deck descriptions with lots of card links sometimes lose the links... Oh well

I agree! I will probably start linking specific lists in some lists, like how MagicalHacker - List of All "Tuck" Cards is linked in MagicalHacker - List of All Spot Removal Cards.

You should put in Multani's Presence, Autumn's Veil and Insist.

Uskebasi, I like Multani's Presence a lot! That's perfect! As for Autumn's Veil, it fails under the first point under "What this list doesn't include", but you can find it and other similar cards in MagicalHacker - List of All Counterspell Cards.

As for Insist, I maybe decided in the past that it wouldn't work for a list like this, but I think that it and other spells like it could definitely work! Thanks!

While it won't stop counterspells Grip of Chaos does ruin plans about half the time.

MagicalHacker says... #18

Clay_Teapot, Grip of Chaos is on my MagicalHacker - List of All Anti-Infinite Cards because of that value. That said, this list is focusing more on blue's flavor of control more than anything.

gvey, Iona seems great for the list! Stopping blue from being cast definitely will stop counterspells, so I'll have to take a look what other effects like that can work.

Uskebasi, unfortunately Shapers' Sanctuary doesn't do enough to stop an opponent from countering spells or having enough cards in the hand to continue to counter spells.

October 28, 2017 10:07 a.m.

How about Eidolon of Rhetoric?

November 13, 2017 6:07 p.m.

MagicalHacker says... #24

TheDeckMaker2300, unfortunately, Eidolon of Rhetoric type cards don't help ensure that spells aren't countered since they make both the blue player(s) and you only able to cast one spell per turn.

Reality Twist like Naked Singularity is 5 colour, right?
