Play green ramp with the cant be countered rare 4/4. But I don't see many mono blue control ATM in plat.

they still have spells that get around can't be countered which is stupid

And here is an example of personal bias, take note new players!

It's not personal bias.

it's the only color that can effectively respond to the stack by countering.

You pretty much have to play blue to respond to their stack, that's not healthy game balance. There is a reason the meta always has blue or splashes blue.

They say "blue can't deal with permanents so it gets counters" that's total BS because blue can deal with permanents, flood of tears, agent of treachery, etc.

Instant speed card draw

insane unconditional regular card draw

Extra turns

And if you somehow have a card that says "can't be countered" they'll have a card that says "Exile target spell" which totally bypasses can't be countered, the 1 thing we have to play against blue and they have a way to stop it.

cards like discontinuity which not only counters your spell and also bypasses "Can't be countered" it also ends your turn which is basically an extra turn for blue.

Removal is a lot more fair and interactable than counterspells.


Say you'll destroy my creature. I'll cast something to give it hexproof, indestructible, etc.

Say you'll destroy my creature but I still get the ETB effect.

Or my creature simply has hexproof built in.

I still get value or have ways to protect the creature.


However with counterspells they bypass all of that it doesn't even hit the battlefield and it's pretty exclusive to only 1 color. To stop it you pretty much have to play blue.

It's ok. You're allowed to hate whatever color you want. You can justify it by saying "you have to play X color" or "I hate X color because it has X kinds of spells". Or you can realize that they are all valid playstyles and the game is balanced around it. Or you can continue to complain :)

Blue will always be a necessary evil. Unlike other colors, it stops spells at the door vs other colors, which don't. You just gotta be okay with being told "no" and prepare to fight on a hill with a thousand arrows in your back.

It also protects their combos with counterspells. So you can't even stop them
