Insidious Will
Insidious Will is an interesting card to try
and assess. On the one hand, four mana is
somewhat more than you'd usually expect to pay
for any one of these effects. But on the other,
you're not really paying for that effect: you're
paying for the option to use any of those
effects you choose, while taking up fewer cards
in your deck than you'd usually spend to have
those options. The fact that it's only one of
those at a time means that it might have a hard
time displacing the likes of Cryptic Command
from the larger tournament formats, but it's a
good option for everyday use, and can turn a
game around if used correctly.

Insidious Will (11/17)
For four mana, you get the flexibility to
choose between Twincast, Redirect, and
Counterspell. Having to pay four mana isn't
great, and it's certainly more than either of
these spells would cost on their own, but it’s a
useful way to compress multiple roles into a
single card.
The issue with Insidious Will is that, again,
it's a bit awkward with its high mana cost and
the need to leave mana up, a play that oft
telegraphs itself. But even with it being an
easy play to read at times, it's still a nice
tool for the control player and their toolbox.
