UW Control has almost no early creatures, so Pyroclasm is dead and Monstrous Rage risks getting blown out by Supreme Verdict or Temporary Lockdown while we commit resources. Magebane Lizard is excellent here, punishing their dense noncreature-spell count (Memory Deluge, Censor, No More Lies, Teferi, Supreme Verdict) turn after turn. Weathered Runestone shuts down any flashback value from Memory Deluge. Keep our burn spells to go face and pressure a deck that wants to grind the game long.
