Bant Control leans on efficient card advantage engines like Up the Beanstalk and Quantum Riddler alongside Force of Will and removal like Swords to Plowshares and Leyline Binding, making Force of Negation key to protecting our own threats or countering a resolving Leyline Binding on our Hogaak. Consign to Memory can strip away any colorless spell or triggered ability, though note it does not stop their colored removal or countermagic directly. Fatal Push is weak since this matchup is more about resolving and protecting threats than killing small creatures, as they run few early creatures worth a removal spell. Wail of the Forgotten's incremental value is outclassed by their superior card advantage engines, so we favor harder interaction instead.
