Hi,

I'm a bit new to Legacy - as some of you may already know from some of my posts.
And I've been looking at Counters.

Now besides the staples of Daze, Force, Pierce etc., I've been looking at what others are out there.
...and I found Arcane Denial.
A hard counter like Counterspell that has no "pay mana" drawback like Daze.
Plus it 1U, so it's very playable in decks that aren't mono-blue or filled with expensive lands.

Since almost all decks in Legacy are packed with 1-drops and even 0-drops, would it be playable as a swing-card?
Capable of either being a counter, or potentially cast this together with a low CMC spell you don't need to draw another 3 cards yourself?

Thoughts?
