Put a +1+1 counter on this, combine with any Tim like effect (like pestilence, for example) and you can go infinite.
That's 1 step too many. There are way too few good ways to put Counters on it in the first place and all you are doing is making a huge vanilla. Too much work, not enough payoff.
I do quite like Lose Focus. I'm not a big fan of 1UU counters, but having the option to play it for 1U a lot of the time and only needing to pay 1UU later in the game is quite nice. It's also never completely dead in the very late stages of the game as you always have the option to pay 1UUU if the opponent happens to have 4-5 mana left after casting a spell. In niche cases it's also theoretically possible to counter multiple spells at once, even though that option will rarely be useful, but it doesn't hurt to have that option.
agree, focus is probably the best counter of the past 10?years
The last common non reprint blue Counterspell, that made it into my cube is Condescend, which is from 5th Dawn, 17 years ago... The last time Mana Leak was reprinted in a regular draft set was M12.
I don't think this is good enough, but I like the fact that we will get multicolor cards at common.
Basically just a better Skyscanner, which Sleight of Hands instead of simply drawing. Certainly not unplayable, but I'm uncertain, that it outclasses any of the existing UW cards.
Sinister Starfish: Blacks 2 drops aren't it's strength. I think this colorshifted version is quite decent in black.
Hard Evidence: Kind of similar to Thraben Inspector. I do definitely like it. Blue doesn't have much to do on turn 1 and geting an 0/3 that early can save you quite a decent amount of life points from incoming 2/Xs.
Besides the card itself, I like the concept of Proliferate as one of several choices. It allows you to incorpore proliferate into cubes but doesn't force the all in.
Rampaging Rendhorn with Modular, for those that have an artifact theme. I like the design.

Modern frame only- Common on paper only - no functional copies, no strictly-betters - no subtype-matters
So full spoiler is out. Other interesting card from the last wave: Storm God's Oracle: Decent body and pretty hard to get a good trade for the opponent. Even against Pacifism you can simply pay 3 and still deal 3 damage. Bannerhide Krushok: A 4/4 trample for 4 is already really good and Reinforce and Scavenge on top certainly doesn't hurt. Tragic Fall: A stricly better Last Gasp.
For Sacrifce: Loathsome Curator: A lot better than Silumgar Butcher. Vermin Gorger: Draining 2 per creature token you have lying around or in response to removal is quite a decent swing.
For Madness: Hell Mongrel: A Madness creature, that is also a free discard outlet. Pretty decent. Revolutionist: A 3/3 Salvager of Secrets for 4 is a pretty decent card. Terminal Agony: It's definitely very good if you discard it for value, but hard casting it feels a whole lot worse.
mtgs is such a crappy site tbh. it will take days until they update their cardlibrary. so ive no idea what cards youre talking about al
They've actually gotten a lot faster, but as always the last spoilers come in bulk, which takes a while. In hindsight, I should linked pictures, but for now you can look em up here: http://mythicspoiler.com/newspoilers.html

On itself the stats aren't bad either.

I do support Swarm in green, so there definitly are decks having a bunch of tokens lying around. I'm not completely sold, but it does interest me.

I love the base stats of Breathless Knight, sadly apart from Unearth I curretnly have no way to get advantage of it's ability.
Ornithopter of Paradise is also a very decent mana fixer, that can fit into any deck.

Evidence seems nice, but worse than Wall of Runes for my interactions (selfbounce)
not sure what to do with gargadon. it has trample which is awesome, but my 2 drops are stacked

The bad part is the Inspector can be flickered/bounced for profit. The evidence being a sorcery hurts it.

Captured by Lagacs: So this is Pacifism with half a Travel Preparations for 1 additional mana. Count me in.
