Counter Spells // Spell Counters (Contest) **Circuit Challenge**
Relax blue mages, this isn't another counterspell contest...
I've recently discovered this card and I find it fascinating! I'd be curious to see more like it:
In the vein of exploring unique design space, your task is to create a spell that creatively utilizes counters on the spell itself. I don't want to offer too many restrictions here but your submission(s) should probably not be a permanent and should rely on/interact with counters of some type. I'm flexible so long as you adhere to the primary thesis of the contest. Suspend is a spell mechanic that utilizes counters but I'd encourage exploring other directions (or utilizing it in conjunction with other effects). New cards preferred. Maximum 2 entries per 'smith. Editing/resubmission is allowed until the submission deadline.
Rewards:
Top 3 cards will be favorited
1st place - 2 additional favorites (follow as applicable)
2nd place - 1 additional favorite
This will be a quick contest. Entries will be accepted until 11:59pm CST on February 11th and results will be posted by end-of-day on February 12th. Feel free to message me with questions.
Best of luck to you, 'smiths!
My scoring rubric will include Creativity, Balance/Playability and Formatting. Artwork should aid in a card's cohesion but will not be a deciding score factor. I will provide feedback on non-winning submissions after the contest has concluded by request.

Has been very exhausting, but at least now I can say I've known that card. XD
So it's a spell with counters that counters spells using counters ... a counter-counter-spell-counterspell ... or a counter-spell-counter-counterspell? I must've lost track somewhere ... XD
This is now a Circuit Challenge!!
Is this broken?
This is another Bidoof tribal spell. It is designed to help Bidoof decks go wide. I hope you like it!

So pull of the sea is slightly overpowered but Infinte power even by my standards is beyond insane.Have fun with it.
