that is my second favorite, or maybe tied for second with the duel decks version. i like the jace pic but it doesn't really feel like counterspell to me. and the flavor text blows. so three of these pictures are decent (at best).
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
I like the JvC Counterspell lots (and coincidentally is the only one that can go in my "modern"), but I also think the Masques one is really really pretty.
The flavor text on the Tempest one is pretty sweet though.
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero
Quote from Stardust »
Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.
Quote from LuckNorris »
ExpiredRascals you sir are a god-like hero.

ER is a masterful god who cannot be beaten in any endeavour.
Word. I have a French one in my cube, and someone who had been out of the game for a while didn't recognize the art. Someone else says "Does it cost two blue and have a middle finger on it? Then it's Counterspell!"
Also, +1 on the Portal Wildfire. But that's only because I don't have a foil 7th one (I love Ron Spencer's stuff).
I use a Portal Wildfire. But I want to get an 8th edditon foil one. Not a fan of the 7th art. But If I prioritized old borderd foils that's what I would go with.

Yeah, that's also why I use it. The portal picture is prettier though. :/

In no particular order:
1. Counterspell - Mercadian Masques Foil
2. Dark Ritual - Mercadian Masques Foil
3. Stone Rain - Mercadian Masques Foil
4. Wrath of God - 7th Edition Foil (I like the new art better and I think the old foiling process looks better for ***)
5. Swords To Plowshares - DD:EvT (Love the art on this one!)
6. Armageddon - Judge Foil
7. Birds of Paradise - Beta
Edit: MM is my favorite set...

My apologies, children, for I am afraid I cannot save you all.
I started right when Exodus came out. I remember riding the bus in 6th grade and reading the little Tempest storyline booklet they gave you. Good times.
I run an altered Masque Ritual. I like the art on the Saga Ritual the most. But I want to get a Judge Promo one because New Border foil > All.
A new bordered foil would be nice, but I just don't like the art on the Judge Promo one. Maybe I need to look at it longer or more closely, but just can't tell what's going on; it certainly doesn't look like any kind of ritual.

the other five are pretty spectacularly bad.

that being said I like the last Mirage swamp you listed with the light rays crossing the pic.

oh yeah, clearly the Beta art counterspel is the best either original or Foiled FNM

The first page of my Cube list also includes my cube workbook for excel, feel free to look at and use it if you would like to.
The flavor text on the Tempest one is pretty sweet though.

I run the Portal 2, because I love that pic, but the magpie in me likes shiny things and so I'm debating a 7th foil. Opinions?
All old border wildfire editions are included above for completeness

I personally use the 7th foil, but the other one is also a gem.
