How do you beat cyclonic rift?

[Agrajagzz9]

In a green white deck how do you beat that card? I hv a great deck but am constantly eating blown out by this card. Any tips on how to beat it? It gets in under {gaddock teeg} but doesn't target so I can't ever defend against it. Help?

Play blue :p

[Mizark]

{Mana Tithe}, {Silence}, {Grand Abolisher} and {Iona, Shield of Emeria} are the only things that come to mind 😕
Hope that helps !!

Play blue :p

Agreed

[LadyGrixis]

Mono Blue or Azorius. Blue holds all the answers. You could maybe even get away with an Izzet or Dimir, with Blue being the heaviest.

{lapse of certainty} if not playing blue. Then mill it away. Very circumstantial, but works.

[Agrajagzz9]

Yes play blue. Solves everything

[ElMatadorJuarez]

If you want to do green/white still, there's a lot of fairly good blue hate in those that could serve you. Let me look some up and I'll post them in a bit.

Cast cyclonic rift {Nevermore}

If you're running Teeg, I'm guessing your deck is a weenie-overrun type strategy.

If the cyclonic rift is blowing you out because you have too many creatures return to hand and you have to discard a bunch of them, I recommend adding {Reliquary Tower} and/or mana ramp. The tower is obvious ({Spellbook} and {Venser's Journal} work too if you're desperate), and ramping lots of mana will let you re-dump lots or all of those creatures right back down in a single turn.

If you're running tokens...

Cast cyclonic rift {Nevermore}

Something like this is probably your best bet.

Thanks for the constructive help guys. I am playing captian sisay so it's legends matter deck. Some of the stuff bounced is like an elesh norn or Avecyn it can make bouncing back difficult. I guess the bet thing to do is try never more or be that guy who Iona's the blue players. I tried {ghost way} for a while but it wa all situational. I had to have it and I had no way to tutor for it

[Jackson get out]

Play  {Ghostway} in response to them playing the rift!! It'll save your creatures at least

[Moneekahh]

{Lapse of Certainty}?

Then mill with your  {Sword of Body and Mind}. If you can't mill, it saves you for a turn at least.

EDIT: Whoops shoulda read the entire thread. Someone suggested the exact same thing already. D'oh!
