This is a control mirror where protecting our threats and countering their removal (Snuff Out, Cast Down) or card advantage (Lorien Revealed) is paramount. Dispel cheaply protects our Ninjas and Spellstutter Sprite from their instant-speed removal, while Envelop stops their Lorien Revealed or Dread Return-adjacent sorceries cold. We trim Harrier Strix and Snap since they're the weakest tempo plays against a deck that isn't racing us. Land Spellstutter Sprite and Ninja of the Deep Hours early to apply pressure before they stabilize with card advantage.
