Arcane Denial is my favorite counter. And I would have preferred it to Mana Leak in this situation, since I need some more lands and fast...

Nothing further. I take the damage.

I would have to agree with you that AD is superior... even if it does allow cards...

I thought you'd said when you added it that you liked the ML in Multi-Blue... which is where I typically use it as well... I just don't have enough Arcane denials anymore as I gave away a lot of my old cards... I think I have 8 of them... but I can't recall... :D I really should work on building a new deck or two in case my friends want to play again...

Oh, and you are up...
 

Oversoul

The Tentacled One
I use Arcane Denial in combo decks that plan on killing the opponent before those extra cards matter or in slow decks that are gaining enough card advantage to make the advantage the opponent gets from Arcane Denial trivial. For most any other multicolored deck, I go with Mana Leak. I'd sometimes be stubborn and use Arcane Denial, but games where it blatantly helps your opponent when you thought it would be to your advantage are very annoying.

Untap, draw, go.
