Looks pretty similar to mine except mine has restos instead of snap, and why is it hard?

Hard control is strickly responsive, I do not give my opponent a free opportunity to cast their threatening spells. Planeswalkers give your opponent a free turn to cast with minimal or no counters spell opposition. This deck is built for my meta which has low amounts of planeswalkers and is mostly dominated by aggro and midrange. The basics make for more untapped lands.

JUND control is still the deck to beat. Mind you, proper piloting and sheer luck plays a part in match ups. Congrats to the wins though
