Not convinced that this is better than Quirion Dryad in matches where your opponent isn't trying to counter everything you do. Time will tell, but if you feed this thing a bunch of your spells and then it gets Unsummoned or Abrubtly Decayed, you're pretty much screwed.

Why couldn't it say "counter" the spell instead of exile as the cost? Then Guile  could sit an' watch an' laugh through the whole thing. Oh right, counterspells don't exist any more. We miss them. At least that's one way of removing the ambiguous nature of the term "counter", so only the sense used in the ability's effect continues to exist.

Actually retrace would work quite poorly. Because he exiles the spell, so it doesn't go to the graveyard to be retraced.

because they don't want to still let te spell after be played from graveyard with flashback

How does this interact with storm? If it can exile copies of spells (as with gigadrowse) then it can exile every copy of a storm spell. I'm very surprised you didn't mention this -- it seems like an easy way to get a million counters. Spell, exile it, spell, exile it, grapeshot, storm, exile all storm copies and the original ... 10 counters!
Pointing out that this is insane with storm would matter more if storm weren't already insane by itself. I mean, if you're already using storm it's more an issuing of finding a way to win that isn't broken.
what about eye of the storm? is that equally pointless to point out that this guy is hilarious with? play every spell on the eye every time, then eat the ones that are bad for you at the moment, or just eat every spell that's been cast so far in the game.
This is the happy swamp. Love it. I am red/blue, I think logically and act impulsively.

Plus, there are quite a few spells floating around now that can't be countered, so that wouldn't be cool...

You're forgetting that it can be more powerful if it's com  mon  these days.
Fixed.

No, Delver's power level was unintentional. Whereas they push the power level of rares intentionally.
