Disallow Vs. Swan Song Vs. Negate

Another Aether Revolt spoiler card caught my eye: Disallow. I've heard it referred to as the strictly better Voidslime, and i'm inclined to agree. Personally, I feel that both Swan Song and Negate have their places as wonderful control spells that help keep combo pieces alive...but where does Disallow fall into the pecking order of things? Is Disallow any better than the previously mentioned cards for keeping your combo pieces on the Battlefield? Would paying that extra or be worth it?

Actually it literally is a strictly better voidslime, so no need to be inclined to agree :). Personally I like SS > negate > disallow in a competitive meta. If you're in a casual one, then: Disallow > SS > negate

If you priority is keeping combo pieces alive, I agree with rockleemyhero, ss >negate > disallow.

IMO, ... < Swan Song < Disallow < Negate < other counters ...

Something along those lines

Here's what I think:

Negate > Disallow > Voidslime
