instead ~this~ deals 10 damage to that creature or player and the damage

It can be countered by game rules, such as by having all its targets be

[Invasion FAQ 2000/10/03]
Counterspells can be played that target it, but when they resolve they
simply don't counter it since it can't be countered.
[Invasion FAQ 2000/10/03]
This spell has a self-replacement in it (see Rule T.10.13). This means
that if you pay the kicker cost, the 3 damage is replaced with 10
unpreventable damage before any other replacements can be applied.
For example, you cannot use Healing Salve to replace the 3 damage
before it gets changed. [Rules Team 2001/05/01]
The damage is unpreventable, but it can be affected by replacement effects
such as Pariah. [Invasion FAQ 2000/10/03]
You can use spells and abilities that target this spell, such as
Misdirection. Those spells and abilities just can't counter it.
