Izzet Spellementals discounts Hearth Elemental and Eddymurk Crab through cheap cantrips like Opt and Sleight of Hand, so we want efficient removal and proactive threats. Get Lost cleanly answers a discounted Hearth Elemental or Sunderflock before it takes over. Airbender Ascension can airbend a problematic early Eddymurk Crab on entry and later blink your own creatures for repeat value. Interdimensional Web Watch is too fragile against their counterspell suite (Disdainful Stroke, Spell Pierce), so it and some Formidable Speakers come out.

Dimir Midrange is loaded with cheap disruption and countermagic (Spell Pierce, We Say Thee Nay!, Spell Snare) plus two-mana threats like Floodpits Drowner. Seam Rip cleanly exiles low-cost permanents like Floodpits Drowner or Spyglass Siren. Surrak, Elusive Hunter can't be countered and punishes their removal-heavy Requiting Hex and Bitter Triumph plan by drawing cards when targeted. Interdimensional Web Watch is too slow and vulnerable to their counters, so it comes out along with some Formidable Speakers and the singleton Imodane's Recruiter.

Azorius Tempo leans on countermagic like Three Steps Ahead and No More Lies alongside sweepers like Day of Judgment. Surrak, Elusive Hunter cannot be countered, dodging their counterspell suite outright, and its trample lets it punch through Emeritus blockers. Bovine Intervention answers Emeritus of Truce or Emeritus of Ideation before they use their spell-side value. Although Interdimensional Web Watch survives Day of Judgment since it is an artifact, it and some Formidable Speakers are cut for more resilient, uncounterable threats.
