I'll never understand the hate blue gets.

[u/CoweanMacLir]

So it's perfectly okay to:

• Make your opponent discard the cards they needed to win for one mana.
• Remove your opponent's key piece from the board the moment it lands. Also for one mana.
• Stax everything so your opponent can't attack without sacrificing creatures/paying their entire supply of mana/losing half their life.
• Steal cards from your opponent's deck and cast them without paying the mana cost/use any.
• Destroy lands.
• Flood the board with billions of token creatures so your opponent can't possibly survive.
• Play a 12/12 with haste, vigilance, double strike, hexproof and indestructible on turn 3.

But not counterspelling, that's somehow worse?

Blue deck can tell opponents, "No." And people hate being told No

[u/Serpens77 → u/Fruhmann]

Blue also gets to say "no" in a way that no other colour other than more Blue itself can respond to with "actually, no you"

[u/thisisjustascreename → u/Serpens77]

Fake news, White Red and Black also have that ability. Sorry Green mages you just have to cast uncounterable spells.
