Sorry I'm sort of new to this posting decks deal😁. This was my FNM deck. It was fun to play but {mistcutter Hydra} was a force that {aetherspouts} and {Polymorphist's jest} just couldn't contend with

Are you saying because te mistcutter has pro blue?  Cuz both those cards absolutely work against mistcutter.

yea they both say "each" as opposed to "target". since they are global effecta and do not target, protection from blue wont save {mistcutter hydra}. {aetherspouts} will force opponent to put him on top or bottom, and {polymorphist's jest} will turn him into a froggy that has no abilities, including keywords like protection.

The frog will still have the +1/+1 counters, so you'd effectively grow their creature by making it a 1/1 instead of a 0/0.

Good point

This was exactly my problem and {aetherspouts} was just a short delay😁

Hmm. Well I'll try to think of some idea, but the Hydra seems super good against this kinda of deck. Maybe {Thoughtseize}? That would mean another color though. Maybe {Crater's Claws} to try to burn it out?

{Perilous Vault}.
This also gets rid of his circles of flame. I'd reccommend the friendly option of craters claw

{Perilous Vault}ing your circles away is better than dying. I don't think {Crater's Claw} would be very reliable due to the fact that you have to be one-three mana away from them and you'd be racing green.

Well I think the side board needs help as well and there is room for both cards. There could be match ups where I side out {circle of flame} {polymorphic jest} against control decks.?.

I like the idea behind this deck but attempting u/w jeskai and u/b variants of control I have found aetherspouts doesn't often work as well the 2nd-3 time you cast it in games. It's unfortunately easy to play around once your opponent is aware of your plan. I feel like this deck has the similair issue as the sweeper can be avoided via playing a couple threats at a time and swinging 1 by 1.

Seems very fun and creative nevertheless. I could see great value in going with craters claw as previously suggested to help against creatures with counters which will only come up against azorious heroic decks. But also to shore up the issues of players playing around your tricks.
