Countermeasures to control deck black blue
Control deck seems that it is used by many users, always follows the same pattern; the thing in the ice, and Jace Tezzeret and many cards cancels magic really nasty .....I hate this decks :) .According you which countermeasure is better? What deck used against you?

To beat those decks, I sometimes sill run a blue black zombie deck. If you can go super wide with a bunch of tokens, you can usually stop them before they can remove them all. Just be persistent and try to flood them

It is great against mill and control, and it is freakishly fast, with decent late game options. It can flood a board with creatures after a mass removal in the same turn. Still room for improvement, but I am quite happy with this deck now, give it a try.

Hmm, everyone's favorite color seems to be blue, occasionally red. I swear, 99% of the matches are blue, with some heavy counter\bounce BS.

I get at least 5 of those Blue\Black control that have nothing but counters and removals and looks like only creature is that flash golem from Kaldesh per day. Quite surprise when I see something else, like Black\Green Elvish deck.

Was pretty hilarious watching one of those guys trying desperatly to "Murder" Primal Beast, but couldn't do it, since it's hexproof. But I'll give him a congrats, at least he wasn't replaced by AI next turn.

I take this opportunity to ASK a question: when a player leaves the game and I play against AI, in case of defeat (against Ai) receives coins and salt in the standings who abandoned?
I point out that I never left I like to play until the end of the game.

as far as i understand, if a player leaves and you are offered the chance to continue against the AI, you get coins regardless of the outcome, and the other player doesnt. if they leave through disconnect, then you play against the AI, if you win you get coins, if you lose you do not get coins. the other player if he reconnects will play the AI using your deck, and only gets coins if they win that battle.

If the pop up asks you whether or not you want to stay in the game, then it doesn't matter if the AI wins or not, you get your coins and your rank.

If the pop up does not ask you, and instead says "Player has been replaced by AI", then you must play the rest of the match like a normal game. You gain ranking and gold only if you beat the AI.

Be patient, keep count of how many counters or removals of each copy have been used, try to play your main threats when they are out of counter spells, play veichles or innistrad flipcards, dont be rushy resolve a planeswalker safe from manlands, play fevered visions,play around languish, dont tap out for your best threat when they are double blue open, gamble only when it's win or lose, if you are about to lose a match next turn and your green gearhulk will give you the win if uncountered then go for it. With time you will understand when the gambling is reasonable or when it' s a suicide. Calculate the risk/reward, if the risk is gettin at the topdeck or with only lands for some lil dmg it's not worth to get your 1 of mythic countered.

think that the solution might be aggro or combo decks, since someplays can buff ur creatures so much that oponent cant clear then
