Bind
1G Instant (Invasion Rare)
Counter target activated ability. (Mana abilities can't be countered.) ; Draw a card.
Bind is one of those cards that I grunt about every time I pull one from a pack of Invasion. Yet I've been eyeing this card for awhile now b/c there have been a few times while playing in my group that I said "I wish this card were a Bind". Keep in mind it does not stop Come into Play abilities or triggered abilities (ala Sunken Hope or Grave Pact).
Its not only a green counter, but a good tempo card. Stopping an ability for 1 turn can definitely turn a game in your favor.
So I've decided to list a bunch of great cards in all different formats that this stops either dead or temporarily
IBC
Pernicious Deed
Regenerators like Spiritmonger and Spectral Lynx
Questing Phelddagrif
Dragon Legend Abilites
Type 2
Port/Dustbowl
Mageta
Elvish Piper
Casual/Type 1
Nev. Disk
Bloodfire Collosus
Ertai, Wizard Adept
Crypt Rats
Mother of Runes
Maze of Shith
Sneak Attack/Quicksilver Amulet/Belbe's Portal
Spike Weaver with only 1 mana to activate.
Tradewind Rider
Volrath's Stronghold
Academy Rector (I think but I'd need a ruling)
Cursed Scroll
Strip Mine
Snake Basket
Legacy's Allure
Sword of the Ages (haha!)
Hundreds of others
The best use seems to be using it on permanents that sac for a particular effect.
Feel free to add your thoughts about the card for any format, or go ahead and add to my list.
Enjoy!
