Drannith Magistrate is a strong hate piece, preventing them from casting Nature's Rhythm's Harmonize mode from the graveyard and shutting down any flashback-style recursion, though it does not stop hand-cast spells like their maindeck Devoted Druid combo pieces cast normally. Thoughtseize is premium here, stripping Devoted Druid, Vizier of Remedies, or Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler before they combo off. Fatal Push cleanly kills Devoted Druid, Delighted Halfling, or Badgermole Cub for one mana, disrupting their mana engine. Abhorrent Oculus is too slow against a combo deck that can kill quickly once it assembles its pieces.
