When you hit an SP or higher, the box tilts into significant positive territory
The two are still completely separate properties, even if they do bleed into each other from time to time
This also protects your opponent's spells, but in a deck where you're not playing counterspells to begin with, this effect does not hurt you at all
If you do, search your library for up to two basic land cards and put them on to the battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library
It offered an experience unavailable anywhere else, though one where all the cards were designed to work together
The right deck skeleton will ultimately require some time thinking about ways to effectively get counters onto whichever creature we want to copy, but right now Generous Patron, Midnight Banshee, Xathrid Gorgon, and Makeshift Mannequin are topping my personal list
