It isn't great considering hard ramp is a lot more difficult to pull off in current Standard. You aren't going to see a whole lot of X mana costs nowadays without Nykthos, besides Hangarback Walker.

Before rotation, I noticed some UB Control players ran some number of this.

It can hit one turn earlier than Scatter to the Winds or Spell Shrivel, but that's pretty much all it has going for it over the other counterspells in the package. If you want to counter unless 
is paid, you can pay 
, but Spell Shrivel does the same thing for 
less. And Horribly Awry hits reasonable-costed spells easier, with the added exile effect. Plus, if you see your opponent counting your lands repeatedly, you can guess it's in his/her hand. Other counterspells simply outperform it.
