Isn't {counterspell} strictly a better version of  {Deprive}?

I'd say its the reverse if anything, {deprive} gives you options in how you decide to cast the spell!

But as for me, I'd have to say {mana leak}

Edit: ah mixed up {deprive} with {force of will}, in which case Im with you on this kanga!

I'm with Kanga on this one. It's an additional cost, not an alternate cost. My favorite is probably {Undermine}.

Yes  {Counterspell} is better but  {Deprive} just is really cool to me for some reason i dont really know why its just a really cool spell

This quickly went from your favorite counter spell to best, I also love {Lost in the Mist}

For no reason in particular besides flavor, {Last Word} and for fair costed efficiency {Mana Leak}.

I like  {Flusterstorm} a lot. Very conditional but lots of fun.

I agree, because if you can pay it, the mana cost is relatively 0 with respect to the original cost.

Not the day you are sitting at one life and four lands.

 {Remand} for early turns.  {Mana Drain} is nice as well

{Voidslime}. The ultimate rejection.

I'm really liking {render silent}. Sooo much better than {absorb}

{Render Silent} is awesome. Nothing like countering, then saying your turn is over.

That's true. And with no other cards in hand ;)

I also like {deprive}

My absolute favorite is probably {mana tithe}

I love {Mana Tithe}. I think it is strictly better than {Force Spike} because no one expects a white counterspell.

Yes indeed

Also, for those who are hatin on {deprive} it has its uses... You dont have any lands to play on your turn and your opponent casts an instant? {deprive} that instant and get a free untapped land! Hard counter for {U} all day.

Conditional but still, food for thought.

I also really like the " miss a turn" counters.
{memory lapse}
And {lapse of certainty} i agree, nobody sees the white counter coming lol
