Thoughtseize proactively removes their Force of Will, Daze, or a Teferi, Time Raveler before we tap out for our threats, which is crucial since Teferi shuts off our instant-speed interaction entirely. Duress complements this by stripping a second piece of interaction ahead of a key turn. Once Upon a Time folds to their countermagic-heavy plan without advancing our board, and Quirion Ranger's marginal tempo gain matters less than raw disruption against a deck full of free counters like Daze. We maintain our core creature suite to keep pressure high once their hand is stripped.
