Got an idea and threw this together. After sifting through the possible I came up with the best(?) 12 non-blue counters I could find..then just sorta threw the rest together with a mind of using the following strict criteria:

1. Do I like the Card?
2. Is it one of the three appropriate colors?
3. Do I have one?

I'm especially fond of the lone lightning bolt...I'm pretty sure this is the epitome of casual. Comments/Suggestions?

Yeah, Mage's Contest, dude. That's a good one non-blue counter.

And Lifeforce and Deathgrip would be good sideboard.

this can,t be serious.. someone playing counters? well at least not blue. I've had so many not-so-nice experiences with that Counterspell. When you finally have the mana to play a super kick-ass legend the opponent throws down a counter. "I counter that" AAAAAAAAAAA! And black's supposed to be the evil color??

Izaryo...

I almost, not quite, but almost, exist to prove that you can run control without running blue...

And I don't necessarily stop you from casting something...(See the Games run by CPA members Forum, Spidey, Bigblue vs. Az and train II)

I just am not a fan of blue - and for the same reasons you're not.

But the deck above is designed in such a cool manner - that you could literally have counter wars with a mono-blue counter deck - isn't that cool?!... Not running blue, but in counter wars...:D

But if you ask anyone - They'll tell you I'm not that big on counters... or blue specifically... If I talk about blue - it's mainly fun cards like intruder alarm...;)
