Meddling Mage naming Psychatog or Counterspell takes away their finisher or their best protection spell. Exalted Angel is a resilient flying threat that dodges Smother (mana value 3 or less only) and gains life to offset Psychatog's damage output. Mana Leak is weak since Gush lets them pay around it for free, so it comes out along with Intuition and one Frantic Search for more proactive answers.
