I'd have to go with Mishra's Factory. It's a cool idea, and it's the first land that could become a creature. Not to mention the fact that it is really a rather good card(despite the lack of flying) and I think the four different seasons in the artwork is cool.

You love it when you use it. It's the same for me. But it's among one of the most annoying cards to deal with, since it stops almost anything at turn 2, turn 1 if you're running zero cost blue mana artifacts.

*shudders at the thought of a perfect counterspell deck* i agree. but the counter is mostly an annoyance at best. something to destroy a powerful card. it gets even better if you drop an arcane library (each player can play only one spell per turn)

Hardly annoyance. Counterspell has always been one of THE cards that were used by every blue control deck to lock down the game and make sure you are never able to safely do a thing. If you only see CS as something to use to beat a game winning spell, then you're not seeing the whole picture. Counterspell has he ability to disrupt tempo, stall a game just by the mere threat of it(Old school blue players always left at least 2 Islands untapped at the end of their turn, so the fear of the opponent holding a CS in their hands was a very real fear), and also being a very frustrating sheild. The idea that the opponent holding a CS means that you begin to second guess every move you make. Will my opponent let my 3/3 through, or is he holding it for something more powerful? CS combined with spells like Unsummon and Boomerang back in the old days was enough to win games in and of itself.

Perfect counterspell decks are simple: Isochron Scepter with various nasty counters, such as CS itself, then Arcane Lab and Erayo, Soratami Ascendant. Finally, get a way to win and you're set.

way to win? arcane Labratories+ Erayo, Soratami Ascendant is a win. sure it takes awhile. but that jsut gives you time to drw something useful. something cheap. (although cheap isn't needed cause your opponent can't do squat xd )
