Like other blue Stasis-based control decks, this list has almost no creatures for our removal to target, so Smother and Snuff Out come out in favor of the extra Graveborn Muse and Cursed Scroll to build a long-game card advantage engine. Mishra's Factory is excellent against Stasis since it remains a land under the lock while still functioning as a threat, and Wasteland punishes their nonbasic lands like Forsaken City and Cephalid Coliseum. Duress and Cabal Therapy are premium here to strip Stasis, Counterspell, or Black Vise before they can establish lock conditions. Focus on disrupting their hand early and applying pressure before Stasis locks the board.'
