By hiding your counter in the exile zone, you are almost assured it will be available when you need to shoot a spell down

Force of Will allows players to perform a different kind of cards-to-mana alchemy: trading an extra blue card for the cost of the opposing spell

As always, the most important aspect of this card is how it trades with an opponents spell on the axes of cards and mana
