It's a weirdly unfocused list, splitting things like thought scour, opt, and cling to dust, and splitting the 2 mana counterspells between remand, izzet, mana leak, and drowned. Not sure exactly how good each is in comparison, so I thought I'd give them all a try while still maintaining a critical mass of redundancy. I can consolidate to the better performers after testing.
