I saw that one of the recent top 8 standrad decks was using this card. I have basically discounted its use,but am I missing the complete obviousness of it? Is this the answer to control and/or and removal based decks? Each time the conter your card you may duplicate their counter, yes? and also, each tim e you gets burned you may burn back. If i'm seeing this corectly, Curse of Echoes shuts down the upside to a Bonfire of the Damned wipe and also any deck thats trying to contro lthe board without being answered.
When they cast a spell with X, do you get the exact benefit they did? Like, if they cast card:Sphinx's Revelation and declared X as 5, would you also gain 5 life and draw 5 cards?

Yup. Heh. Tasty life totals...
Really good for something like Grixis control that doesn't have much/any lifegain or X-card draw capabilities.

It neuters all their counterspells not named Counterflux and lets you copy their card:Sphinx's Revelations. I put 2 in every control list I brew as a result.
