Dress Down strips all abilities from creatures, turning off Basking Broodscale's adapt-triggered Eldrazi Spawn generation, buying crucial tempo against their ramp plan. Surgical Extraction can strip every copy of a key colorless threat like Devourer of Destiny or Basking Broodscale from their deck and graveyard once Thoughtseize discards one. Nihil Spellbomb doubles as graveyard hate against their Malevolent Rumble self-mill and as a late cantrip. Stubborn Denial and Drown in the Loch are cut since we're rarely ahead on board or graveyard count early against a deck that ramps past our counters; keep Fatal Push and Thoughtseize for their creatures and nonland setup spells like Ancient Stirrings.
