I concur.

All these people talking about counterbalance making a miraculous comeback and being a tier one deck again in the legacy format is not plausible or reasonably practical. Given the present metagame, even without mental misstep banned, it still has a lot of bad matchups right now.

Counterbalance may see some or little play as oppose to virtually no play as has been the case this year in 2011; however, it is unlikely that counterbalance will see much play on the 5k circuit and I suspect it will not see the top eight of any large scale legacy events in the near future like Grand Prixs or Star City Games Opens.
