Punish Ignorance (ALA 183) is a rare three-color instant from Shards of Alara. It attempts to counter a target spell and causes that spell’s controller to lose 3 life while you gain 3 life. The card functions as both removal of problematic spells and a small life-swing, and its counter portion can target spells that can’t be countered though the counter will fail while the life-change still occurs.
