So the question is, would this be too powerful of a card:
Prohibit+ U
Instant
Kicker U
Counter target spell with converted mana cost 2 or less. If the kicker cost was paid, instead counter target spell with converted mana cost 4 or less.

Yes, absolutely would be. Spell Snare would be rendered obsolete if that card was real. If you look at what WOTC is doing with blue countermagic they are trying to limit power and ability to splash a card to different color if its too good. Best example is Censor as they could have easily reprinted Miscalculation but they didn't as it was deemed too powerful as it can be splashed easily in a multi color deck.
So where is the member with the print Opt for Modern? He should be pretty happy today.

I believe you are referring to me - I'm the self proclaimed "opt guy" from page 188 on this thread. And yes I was very excited to see opt get reprinted. My emails to WOTC worked 😀.
Always hopeful for some more multicolor love. Absorb, Undermine, and Prophetic Bolt would be great, and, though good, don't seem likely to break Standard to get into Modern. Recoil and Baleful Strix would be fun in Modern, but probably too pushed for Standard, sadly.
I can't imagine that it'll ever happen, but I'd love to see Astral Slide back. But that's only because I'm mostly a Living End player and it would be a neat alternative to the cycling game.

Astral Slide would be so great. I love me some value shenanigans.
I am so disappointed Hull Breach didn't make it into Ixalan
I doubt we'll see it in Modern (moreover in Standard), it is probably better than any other artifact/enchantment removal in the format for its cost
(making Ancient Grudge/Destructive Revelry and others obsolete).

Not really. The number of times you get 2 for 1 value on Hull breach in modern is pretty low. The only deck I can think of that this is really great against is WR Prison and almost every other deck either runs exclusively artifacts or exclusively enchantments. Not to mention that the damage on Destructive Revelry is important for burn decks and the flashback on Grudge makes it good against lantern or against affinity going in on separate creatures.

I'd like to see a card like Recoil in Modern, it probably won't be too good.
It can even be pushed by reducing its cost to UB and adding some condition (like "revolt") to activate the discard mode.
If it is too good, maybe the card can be changed to only target nonland-permanents.
-Mother of Runes in Modern implies another card with protection from x in Standard. Not impossible, but not likely. Love the card though!
-Baleful Strix...how bad would this mess with Standard on its way to Modern? My guess is too much, but this is also another great card people love.
-Recoil would be gross in Standard, and Snapcaster Mage with it in Modern would be hilarious. And yeah; the fact that it can hit lands is overwhelmingly the reason in each case.
I don't think they'll print FoF while Gearhulk is in standard, but come on WoTC. You keep trying to print "fixed" FoF's that never see play - just print the real thing.

They could either reprint it or make a version more restrictive like making it UU to cast with same effect and same kicker.
The thing is I look at Prohibit, and I just think of how Spell Snare is better. Sure Snare only hits CMC 2, but it costs 1 mana, as opposed to 2.
So what if they made a functional reprint of Prohibit, but the Kicker cost was U instead of 1u[/mana]. Well then with the Kicker it's just a bad Cancel, which is a horrendous card.
So the question is, would this be too powerful of a card:
Prohibit+ U
Instant
Kicker U
Counter target spell with converted mana cost 2 or less. If the kicker cost was paid, instead counter target spell with converted mana cost 4 or less.

Gotta save that for the next set.
Please reprint Peregrine Drake so we can build ETB centric Eldrazi Displacer decks.
