Counterfeit is also in the beta already a 3-Mana. When your opponent will not drop a delic, it can be a very expensive card for drawing just one card. You're right a 2 Mana 2/2 is better priced...

But also I think just because Counterfeit exists all players against deception will be way more careful playing their relics. Maybe it's okay for most players, that their relic can be just removed but it is different when their opponent can steal their relic and use it.

I have to find out how my opponents will act in future with their relics but I have to play more matches to rate Counterfeit finally.
