I'll search for Force of Will in the tournament database to provide you with recent competitive data.
Now let me check Force of Will's presence across formats where it's legal (Legacy and Vintage):
Force of Will remains the single most-played non-land card in Legacy at 53.8% presence over the last 60 days, appearing in an average of 4.0 copies per deck. It's the defining free counterspell that enables blue control and tempo strategies to compete against fast combo decks. In Vintage, Force of Will appears in 63.0% of decks with nearly 4 copies per deck, ranking as the 5th most-played card after the Power 9 moxen and just behind Vexing Bauble.
The card's ubiquity reflects its unique role as the only efficient way to interact on turn 0-1 while tapped out, which is critical in formats where games can end before you untap. Every competitive blue deck in Legacy runs the full playset, from Tempo decks like Dimir Murktide to combo-control builds like Storm variants. Force of Will remains competitively essential despite being over 30 years old.
