When planeshift first came out, i saw the chant and picked up 5 or 6 due to how i thought it would be amazing like a abeynce.. back in the day anyway. I made a "Turbo-Chant" deck a few weeks later when the card was going for like 10$/cash the deck was pretty conditional in it's self, but i think this card might be good in a IBC deck or so.. maybe since alot of people are playing U/?/? or just U/? it is a good thing to do on turn 5 or 6 for example to stall their Crosis or whatever they may be playing, while it pushes through a extra few points of damage from your deck, or to force through a turn 5 skizzik with kicker (turn 5 is including the chant cost.) and push through that extra 5 damage for the kill! anyways it's not that bad of a card, just not good like it used to be (Abeynce), i was playing my replenish vs. this other guys replenish and he played 4 Chants, i only run 8 counters in my replenish (4 Mana Drain, 4 Force of Will) i was forced to drain it, then FoW his replenish loosing 3 cards, 1 life, and emptying my hand to 2 cards, and i am out of counters, i replenish on my turn, bargin, opalessence, parrallax wave (x2), and 2 Attunement, i am at 17 life, i have the game pretty much in a lock with the bargin out i have 6 counterspell left, and am likely to draw at least 1 to counter his replenish (assuming he plays it) at the cost of a maximum of 8 life, but still if i didn't run oinked up replenish with bargins (suprises everyone lol i dont know why more people dont use it) he would have ruled me by emptying my hand of counters with just that one chant.
