Remove mage secrete counter spell they don’t need it in standard to op. On another note who the hell plays mage.
Translation:
I didn’t play around Counterspell and lost a game, please make it so I won.
One of the most balanced classic cards. Easy to play around too with cheap spells. Mage got a lot of overpowered secrets like draw 3 cards if no damage was taken. counterspell is absolutely fine.
Nobody feed the troll.

Plays around Flameward: Gets punished by Rigged faire game
Plays around Rigged faire game: Gets punished by flameward/vaporize
Counterspell is not a bad card, even if both copies are played. I’ll take a control mage here over a blue deck in Magic: The Gathering any day.
If he had all these secrets up, the problem was not counterspell.
Yes, I know, it’s called wild:P
There is no way to play around Counterspell, though.
Unless you got 1 specific card out of 1000.
Odds don’t seem good, eh?
So you don’t run any low cost spells to test for counterspell?
Sounds like you ran in to a secret mage and that is kind of their ting.
Save the coin if you have it then.
