Cursed Totem shuts down Basking Rootwalla's pump ability and Tireless Tribe's discard-fueled toughness boost, both key resilience tools for their creatures. Daze is less effective since they have a low curve and can often play around the tempo tax, so we'd rather have proactive disruption. This is a fast aggressive-midrange matchup where Black Vise and Powder Keg both pull weight punishing their card-heavy hands and clearing small creatures. Keeping Counterspell and Chain of Vapor in is important to interact with Survival of the Fittest and key threats like Deranged Hermit.
