Template:Spellbender strategy

This card has a similar but more niche ability than Counterspell, letting you intercept enemy spells instead of just cancelling them. In many situations, this card is usually worse: while it can neatly block a Fireball or Shadow Word: Death just like Counterspell can, it doesn't block spells with secondary effects, such as the card draw of Wrath or the side targets of Explosive Shot. The scenario where it's better than Counterspell is in intercepting positive minion Enchantments, such as Blessing of Kings or Mark of the Wild.
