[@JaceBeleren] I think I forgot to mention my intentions for Pavara's cutlass. Basically, it's an artifact equipment with a "tap an equal amount of mana as the spell you you're countering costs"

Or, on second thought, could it be a free "Tap= counter target spell with converted mana cost of 1"?

In summation, I wanted a small spell counter for the first round, just for a little surefire self defense.
