Flashfreeze is excellent against their red spells like Prismari Charm, Burst Lightning, and Traumatic Critique, denying key tempo and removal pieces. Torpor Orb stops Eddymurk Crab's enters-the-battlefield tap trigger and other ETB value, slowing their tempo plan significantly. Bitter Triumph and Shoot the Sheriff are poor removal choices since their real threats (Hearth Elemental at MV6, Eddymurk Crab at MV7, Sunderflock at MV9 on the battlefield) dodge cheap removal entirely or simply aren't the right targets early, so we prioritize countermagic and disruption of their ETB engine instead.
