I can't really tell if this card sucks or if it's good. Feedback would be appreciated.

IT kinda sucks, it's slow and your opponent can see it coming from a mile away. Compare this to Force Spike, but at least with force spike, you can catch the other player off guard.

I think making the activated cost 1U and asking the other player to pay for 2 would already be better.

I don't like this card. Free counters are suspect. This is a free counter that you can rebuy with Life from the Loam. Imagine having two of these out and just not tapipng them. The opponent would be in a tough spot!

But spiketail beats and can be cracked while tapped

This land needs to be legendary so you can change the payment to be  .  Making it legendary makes it so it's not broken with crucible of worlds, at best it's essentially two resistors.  Also, your opp can "counter" this by laying down his own on his turn to wipe them both off the board

EDIT: Didn't notice it came into play tapped. I think that also can be removed if made legendary.

This is not busted in current form at all.  It CITPT, which is inherently weak and requires you to lose a land drop for force spike.  Abjure is potentially better than this.

This card= they play around it until they want you to lose a land and tap down a land for the turn
