Duress proactively strips their Counterspell or Ephemerate before you commit key threats, which is crucial against a control deck leaning on value creatures like Baleful Strix and Mulldrifter protected by blink effects. Faerie Macabre's discard ability can exile their Archaeomancer or Mulldrifter from the graveyard to deny recursion value, while also serving as a flying body that trades with their small artifact creatures. Campfire and Lembas are too passive and slow in a grindy matchup where disruption matters more than incremental value. Keep Cast Down and Unmake as your premium removal for Baleful Strix and Refurbished Familiar.
