I think at that cost and only those modes it is fine. It could be better sure but the recent printings are much easier to be better than too.

I would say it is overcosted. You have Counter/draw and 2UU already, so paying two life to have this at three more restrictive CMC is worse IMO.

In general, worse than currently available options.

Counter target spell

Draw a card

Return target instant or sorcery from your graveyard to your hand

Tap target permanent

Well it's better than pact of negation, counterspell, remand, cryptic command, force of will, spell pierce, and spell snare etc... The only one it might not be better depending on context is Mana Drain

I still can't believe at one point in Magic history, they ever thought Mana Drain was a good card to make. Same with pretty much anything on the reserved list. lol
