This looks like a fun card to use, and even though, we're used to seeing counter spells as blue cards, the design of Tibalt's Trickery feels red. I'm not sure yet what kind of Constructed archetypes this card will fit in but it would be surprising to see a non-blue red deck counter a spell with this card.

Here are the other red cards recently revealed today:
