A few solid choices include Arcane Denial (hey, there's a nice consolation prize for the countered), Delay (three turn cycles is a long time in Commander), Disdainful Stroke (most problematic spells fit the restrictions for this and make it essentially an easier to cast Counterspell), Saw It Coming (foretelling this is just one more way to keep extra spells handy, but not in the hand), and Unwind (free is free, and most creatures can be dealt with in other ways)
Nonetheless, the parallels are making me pretty excited
The "draw three" was dialed down to a "scry 3 and draw a card," and the evoke cost went down as the spell is weaker
Since we need this card to work in every circumstance, its basically reserved for decks with high levels of redundancy, which is French for reanimation decks
