Quote from Alex Holland »Wait a minute... Isnt this the second version of the phyrexian mana counter that was banned because every deck started playing it??
Why wouldnt u play this? Hits loads of critters in modern and even legacy.
Stoneforge
Delver
Bob
Bop
Hierarch
Elfs
Goblins
And countering sorceries? Combo decks take a huge hit. Even if not facing blue they have to be careful.
Third ability? Just gravy!
This has no almost no similarities to Mental Mistep.
One of the biggest issues with Mistep was it was free. For the cost of 2 life any deck could have a turn 0 counterspell. In many eternal formats 1CMC spells are quite strong and numerous.
Warping Wail not only costs 2 mana, but one has to be colorless. For a lot of decks creating colorless mana is going to be very difficult if not impossible with the way the decks are built. In modern for instance the only ones that really stick out as producing totally colorless mana consistently are tron and affinity. Maybe this will slot into tron somewhere as at very least it's a bad ramp spell. How many other decks can really make colorless mana that consistently?

Not pump the advocate, push damage through a advocate blocker. An opponent playing a turn 2 Sylvan Advocate just hoses aggro decks.

They handed out tickets before the doors even opened, so make sure to get there early. With the ticket comes a time to come back to the booth. However, preview night was a mess and didnt work out properly, so good luck.
Here are my pics. They were hard to take with the glare.
