Their deck runs many of the same value creatures as ours, so proactive disruption matters more than marginal value cards. Duress strips their Bitter Triumph, Duress, or Requiting Hex before they can interact, while Negate stops Strategic Betrayal, Deadly Cover-Up, or planeswalkers like The Theorist, Jace Beleren. Requiting Hex stays in the sideboard: it only destroys creatures with mana value 2 or less, and their main threats (Seasoned Cryomancer, Superior Spider-Man, Deceit, Uldaros Theorix) are all mana value 3 or higher. Trim Rapid Rescue and Wistfulness, which are slower value cards that do little in this matchup, and cut Awaken the Honored Dead since both players are milling into similar graveyards, making its payoff less reliable than direct interaction.
