It is a good counter. 30 MR + a Spell Shield. Ok you might time good your R and that's well played. But I'd rather have such an early effective item than remaining glass canon cause, several times, the shield hasn't been used (e.g. Abilities first then AD auto-attacks brings me low) and prevents Karthus from racking early kills.

I take it each time a Karthus is around.
