Sounds good. I do think a reflection voodoo could be nice if done right. Just needs polishing. Regular countercurse is fine as is however.

What you suggest there is truly legendary, Deznutz. Cast a MB on yourself, and then an LCC countering Serenity. That would give a very strong defense.

For the most part, I agree with the arguments made against this idea for the existing countercurse voodoo card.

However, the idea has merit from a Witch Hut/Legendary Voodoo standpoint.

For instance, a Legendary Countercurse that counters specific voodoo casts. Voodoo other than the selected counter would pass through as if the curse wasn't in place. But if a player casts the selected Card, the curse is both blocked and cast against the caster.

For Example:
Player A casts LCC on themselves with a target of Confuse.
Player B casts a variety of voodoo (HNs, FFJs, TS, Taxation, etc.) on Player A.
Player A's LCC ignores those casts as it isn't the identified curse.
Player B casts Confuse on Player A.
Player A's LCC blocks and counters Confuse
Confuse is now active on Player B.


+1, but I think a card that only does this for one specific curse should probably only be rare.

Though this raises a question. What happens if they cast purify? Will it only clear the MB? Or will it affect the LCC? I forget if we decided whether or not legendary voodoo can be cleared by normal clearing voodoo or if it's situational, but even if the LCC is not clearable by purify, that just means it will clear something else. So you would probably want to have a few other voodoo on you to block up the purifies and help guard the MB.

Still very powerful I agree.

Sure, if you use an MB, you should always have some other voodoo as well. That goes even today. I don't even try using Purify to remove MBs, I assume there is always some other voodoo present.

I believe this has been discussed before.

IMO...

Some Legendary Voodoo should only be clearable by Legendary Voodoo. Some Legendary Voodoo should be able to be cleared by normal clearing. Most Legendary should include a normal clearing defense, like a failure rate for serenity/purify, making it difficult, but not impossible to clear with normal voodoo.
