You could make a sorcery speed counter! Challenge freaking ACCEPTED

Patient Authority {1}{W}{U}
Sorcery
Exile patient authority and place a time counter on it.
Whenever a player casts a spell, remove a time counter from Patient Authority. When you remove the last time counter from Patient Authority counter target spell.

This could work with that whole suspend mechanic. It's basically a cross between {stasis}, {counterflux}, {seal of fire}, and suspend.

An alternate approach with a similar concept is:

Mana Corruption {B}{U}{U}
Sorcery
Exile Mana Corruption with a Corruption counter on it.
During your upkeep if Mana Corruption is in exile with a corruption counter you lose 2 life.
Whenever an opponent casts a spell, if Mana Corruption is in exile with a corruption counter, remove a corruption counter and counter that spell.

So these can not be proliferated since they are in exile, they also cant be countered by other counterspells. However your opponent decides what gets countered.
This kinda works:
Vow of Scilence {3}{U}{U}
Sorcery
Counter all spells of the chosen color and blue untill the end of your next turn. Whenever a spell is countered this way, its controller may draw a card.

So you can use it too shut down your oponents untill their next turn, and/or you can use it to get dead cards out of your hand if you have mana.

If we want a sorcery speed counter spell, why not just run it in a deck with {Vedalken Orrery}?

Nah.
Its more green.
But probably rare though!
And definitly sorcery
well then this? {G}{G}{G}{1}
An unplayed rare ;D
3cmc makes it a bomb utility card.
4 makes it rather unconventional.
Or possibly {3}{G}?
More splashable makes it more attractive.

what about 3 CMC with a minor drawback?

Or maybe {G}{G}{2} with a drawback?

Because it might be broken I've realized

Apathy Reactor

how about a deck with that card and four {treasured find}s? then you can dig through your graveyard for anything that you might have needed ;)

Apathy Reactor

doesn't go with the big graveyard = big power strategy as well, but If you needed a card for a combo or something, and it was in your library, you can fish out the exact card you need ;)

and my suspicion is confirmed. So ill put it at {G}{G}{B}{B}{1}

Apathy Reactor

prolly should be 2 green and2  black I think, just my opinion

Apathy Reactor

also, would you exile this card after you use it? or will you place it in your graveyard? btw if it was green and blue, at the beginning of the game, you could rape if you used  {Laboratory Maniac}

if it ramped 2 lands instead of one that would be kick @$$. Or make it a 3 cost card and it would be worth it

How about this?

Trolololololol {3}{U}{W}{W}
Sorcery
Destroy all nonland permanents, then search you library for three cards named {Oblivion Ring} and put them onto the battlefield.

Why?

Crapshooter

Ok here's one 3{B}{B}{R}{R} exile all non land permanents and all graveyards. Then search each players library and hand for any card that shares a name with an exiled card, exile those cards. Then each player shuffles their library and reveals cards until they reveal a non land card and cast it.
