UW Control relies on sweepers, counterspells, and card draw to outlast your threats. Duress is your best card in this matchup, stripping their sweepers and counterspells before they can deploy them. Disdainful Stroke counters their expensive spells at instant speed on their turn. Strategic Betrayal and The Unagi of Kyoshi Island provide flash-based disruption that dodges their sorcery-speed interaction. Your hand disruption from Deep-Cavern Bat and Kaito, Bane of Nightmares is excellent here, continuously stripping key pieces. Shoot the Sheriff and Requiting Hex have minimal targets in a creature-light deck, while Flitterwing Nuisance doesn't provide enough disruption or threat quality.
