AbstractUU
Instant (R)
Counter target artifact, creature, enchantment, or planeswalker spell. If that spell is countered this way, its controller may cast an instant or sorcery spell from his or her hand without paying its mana cost.
I want to use "permanent spell" and "nonpermanent spell" but it doesn't look like we have support for those terms right now. Compared vs Fold into Aether, the counter condition is more specific and the payoff is probably worse, but should it cost 3?
I'm a bit confused. How isn't "permanent spell" supported? I understand using "instant or sorcery spell" over "permanent spell", since the alternative "nonpermanent spell" isn't too much shorter.
110.4b The term “permanent spell” is used to refer to a spell that will enter the battlefield as a permanent as part of its resolution. Specifically, it means an artifact, creature, enchantment, or planeswalker spell.
I don't think this should go above 1UU with the risk of being a strictly worse Cancel. I think its current cost is good.

Yeah, I figured "permanent spell" was a viable wording, didn't know it was actually defined already. But I don't see any cards that actually use it. Yet Another Æther Vortex is the only card that uses "noninstant, nonsorcery" so I think either spelling it out or using "permanent spell" is fine, but the dichotomy is noted.
"Permanent spell" would probably be avoided at anything lower than rare, so at least 2 mana gives you the janky promise of countering your own Memnite to cast Storm Herd or something.
