Esper Blink is a grindy value deck full of Solitude, Orcish Bowmasters, and card advantage engines like Overlord of the Balemurk, so proactive disruption matters more than reactive removal. Thoughtseize lets us strip their key interaction (Solitude, Thoughtseize, Teferi) before they can use it against our creatures. Surgical Extraction can exile a copy of a problematic recurring threat like Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd from hand/library after seeing one in the graveyard, disrupting their blink loops. Haywire Mite and Sylvan Safekeeper are lower priority since Haywire Mite can only target Overlord of the Balemurk while it is a noncreature via impending and rarely need the shroud protection against their removal-light plan.
