Counterspell is really inexpensive $$ wise and the best. Daze is another (common Force of Will ), Hydroblast and Blue Elemental Blast for those U match ups. Condescend might be worth looking into. Spell Pierce also. You'll see a lot of these in legacy and are mostly under 2.00$ each (some Counterspell are above it and I think Daze is around 2.15).

in this format Mana Leak is too slow at 2cc, Spell Pierce out classes it because it's 1cc. Daze because you can bounce an island to cast it, these are available turn 1 on the draw.

@HarbingerJK no need for a splash with Force Spike .

Daze , Rune Snag , Spell Snare , and Spell Pierce are the best you are going to get I think. (Though, Rune Snag is kinda meh sometimes. What it DOES have going for it is that it's the only tax counter that gets better as the game goes on.)
