The key to beating those cards:
- run no creatures, or very few (like snapcaster)
- you MUST 1-for-1 thragtusk WHENEVER possible. Cards that 1-for-1 thraggy are:
{Pacifism}, {Defang}, {Bonds of Faith}, {Arrest}, etc. another way to essentially "1-for-1" thrag is to wait until they have more than 1 guy out. Boardwipe then get rid of the token. You just spent 2 cards for 2 or more cards. Mission accomplished.
- have graveyard hate

And of course counterspells are awesome 1-for-1s! :)

Control decks work well against them.

My grixis control deck beats on bant control decks pretty good. Tusk is not much of a threat to my deck...

If you're interested, start a new Community Standard deck. Or pick from amongst the available decks and have everyone vote.

How do I start a vote?

Make a running list or post of your favorite decks and have community vote on what they'd like to change, or which ones are their favorite.

Protip: if you're sing iOS you can hold down the "go down" you can pick "Copy" the deck URL and simply chop off the end.  http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php/topic,14390.15.html#lastPost
