My favourite counterspell in these lists because of that is Spell Pierce (8), it is hitting what you need it to and it has a very high demand on your opponent given its cost meaning it is a surprisingly hard counter in cube
Seems a bit good Back in Commanderland, this thing encourages you to go deep on free spells and cost reducers
Vexing Shusher, Dosan the Falling Leaf, Prowling Serpopard, Archetype of Endurance, Spearbreaker Behemoth, Stonehoof Chieftain, Boseiju, Who Shelters All, Cavern of Souls, Homeward Path, Domri, Anarch of Bolas, Heroic Intervention Protection
In a pinch, it also works as another (too expensive) Phyresis for your own creatures
High upfront cost : A sought-after card can be expensive to buy outright
