Curse of Echos

[Trunksthemighty]

With  {Curse of Echoes} do you have to pay the mana cost to copy the spells?

[Keyeto]

No, the copies are cast for free.

Edit: Actually, to be technical, the copied spells aren't cast, since the copies are made on the stack.

So it pretty much makes a counter deck useless?

Yeah, it's essentially a counter deck's worst nightmare. You'll have to declare that you're choosing a new target though (their counter spell), otherwise the copied cards will have the same target.

I'm convinced. It's going in my deck. I'm tired of counters and removal. I'll make them pay! Thanks for your help.
