Planar Chaos, the set that birthed this card, was all about turning MTG players expectations on their heads, so printing a two-mana black counterspell certainly fit that theme
But beware removal because The Ur-Dragon is always one of the biggest targets at the table
This part barely has any relevance to why we go to the website, but I digress
For just 3 mana, you basically hit the pause button on yourselfyour life total cant change, your permanents phase out, and you even gain protection from everything until your next turn, preventing cards like Duress from targeting you
Then add whatever support pieces you might need for your strategy
This would be almost as catastrophic for WotC as it would be for brick and mortar stores
