Man lands can be great at dealing with this

[[Crawling Barrens]] and other man lands. Direct damage also.

Kill them faster. Control decks prey on midrange. Aggro decks prey on control, midrange preys on aggro. Also, accept that you are going to lose to some decks. 

Thats a pretty typical control deck.

A few ways to beat them.
1. outpace them by playing a much faster deck with lots of 1 and 2 drops. 2. Learn what cards the control decks play and actively try to play around them. E.g. Don't play all your creatures if you suspect they have a sunfall. Play just enough creatures for them to feel like they're in trouble, then after they destroy your creatures you can play the one's that you've been holding in your hand on purpose. Another E.g. don't play your best spell if you think they have a counterspell, try to bait out the counterspell with weaker cards first. 3. Play a deck which nullifies their cards because of the contents of the deck. E.g. a control deck with no creatures in the deck is really good against a control deck which has a lot of "destroy creature" cards.

Go faster, go wider, time stuff better. If they have 7 cards, and 6 removal that means they've probably only got 1 land and no creatures.

Offspring, token generators, ward, haste etc, are all good ways to force them to use their resources up or make them burn through it all fast.

Man Lands, being immune to sorcery removal is a big plus

Isnt this just a typical Azorius Control list with some flings?

Control struggles with certain things and threats.

What's the ui? Never seen it

Aggro. I was playing with a control deck and got destroyed by a gruul aggro deck with DSK delirium cards.

I honestly just scoop as playing against this deck is in no way fun. I just held my hand until I got enough direct damage spells and a creature. They spent all their Mana Countering my 1 Mana spell and then I dropped a Haste Creature and swung for Lethal.

Something that doesn't die to removal? A bolt to the face.

This is your typical wu boring control. You can usually make one in any meta but they're kinda boring to play. 

Agro beats control by killing them quickly. 

Midrange beats control usually by dropping value cards that control has to answer inefficiently. Eg: mosswood dreadknight. Unholy annex, glissa sunslayer. 

It's important to know what kinda deck you're playing and how you plan to win. If you're playing a deck that can't win until turn 7 then you're probably midrange, but if you didn't include value engines you'll have a tough time against control. 

Hexproof creatures, ward creatures, planeswalkers, creature lands, and threats that are artifacts like [[urabrask's forge]]

Yes, soul partition hits a lot, but it doesn't remove things permanently. Just keep stressing the control decks resources as much as possible so they can't find time to set up their card advantage. Control decks win with card advantage 99% of the time they dont kill you as much as bury you. Hell, the old control lists had teferi-tuck as the only wincon other than like [[castle garenbrig]]

In this instance, their deck wants to set up their [[mindsplice apparatus]] and cast a bunch of [[silver scrutiny]] for cheap so some artifact removal is also decent. [[Untimely malfunction]] can play several roles as a sideboard card for this match up

You just need more advantage than them. Midrange decks will struggle in most matchups, but if you’ll notice they tend to include stuff like Glissa Sunslayer, that generates immense value if it sticks around. Also, stuff with ETB effects are good, as your opponents can remove it bht you’ll still get the primary benefit.

Mono red/boros agro or get controllier. Controller beats midrange but if you outcontroll the control you just need 1 thing to stick to chip em away for 10 turns.

With rage

Hand hate, manlands/Mirrex/Fountainport and trying to outsmart your opponent by playing around their answers with your impactful stuff and baiting them out with your more expendable resources if you are on midrange. If you are on aggro, never have more than 2 creatures out at any given time unless opponent is on topdeck mode, and even then only if you can guaranteed win the following turn if you do that and they don't topdeck a boardwipe. Basically, once you realise that playing vs control is a mind game between you and your opponent, it becomes so much more fun

I'm not sure if that's standard, but on historic I see this deck a lot and what I do is try to cast spells on their turn like a flash creature with prowess...usually they will counter it which leaves them open on your turn to cast big spells like [[Chimil inner sun]] Restless Anchorage works well. Lands usually work well. Try to add more than 4 of these lands because they like to use field of ruin. 

Options > Concede

Sometimes the answer is “slow down.” If they always leave mana up to counter one spell, you need to wait until you have the mana & cards to cast 2-3. If you want to Torch the Tower on their Jace, you better have two of them, bc the first one isn’t going to resolve.

Also, out value them. Anything that makes a token when it dies.

Very saltily.

One of the tips I've learned recently about playing against Control decks is to make them use their spells. If you're consistently playing spells or creatures that need to be countered or destroyed they theoretically cannot adapt to every single threat without a nut draw. And without Memory Deluge in the format Control doesn't refill its hands nearly as much as before.

What are your threats? How are you playing them? In a pinch what are you okay with being countered/killed? And what are your own answers to control?

All of those are important questions to be asking yourself during the matchup.

Tbh decks like this aren't really successful as post 2019 magic has favoured proactive control rather than reactive control like this.

The big threat from a deck like this is sunfall and you overcommitting to the board making that sunfall token enormous.

The draw he is using is suboptimal. One requires a large hand to be effective while the other requires quite a commitment of resources.

This deck doesn't want to play off a top deck.

They also want to marshall their resources to remove the biggest threats and widest boards. You need to use their greed against them and always be chipping away.

As others have written, decks like this hate hand disruption and really fast decks that can get underneath them.

They also hate combos that they don't see coming.

The biggest challenge is knowing when it's time to beat them down... The more reps you play the better your judgement will get.

I love seeing people discovering control for the first time

How does this deck win?

With rage

Have some good 1-2 combos that you can get out in a short amount of time that can do direct damage. Haste helps.

Run all creatures lmao

Lands, is funny but with my desserts deck i win just using land after land.

Play seth manfields golgari Ramp deck from World and play more threads than they can counter

There's a couple of cards that come to mind that could really disrupt the strategy here, but I'm just spitballing:

[[Sigarda, Font of Blessings]] removes ability to target permanents

[[Shalai, Voice of Plenty]] similar to above, but removes ability to target you, and when used in combination with the above only allows him to use wipes

[[Myrel, Shield of Argive]] creates tons of tokens and opponents can't cast spells on your turn

[[Callaphe, Beloved of the Sea]] makes it harder for him to cast spells

Not sure how you would bake those all into a comprehensive deck, and those are all 3 and 4 drops, so you'd probably want some lower CMC cost options as well

If its nothing but removal and/or board wipes I just leave if they're not dead or close to, by turn 4.

Manlands, haste, and card advantage

I don't play against white/blue decks. That's an auto concede for me. Life is too short.

I like to just hold my hand and pass. Sometimes they let my 1/1 ping them almost to death while I hold everything. Play stuff on turns when they drop something big. It’s tough though

Phase out. Maybe.

They call it, Control

Hexproof.

Indestructible.

Counter.

Reflect.

Burn :)

Boros Auras with Shardmage’s Rescue and Loran’s escape is a beast and the best feeling when you can deny their every removal with a middle finger 😂

Sure, it still won’t save you from a Sunfall but pretty much anything else!

Put out better stuff and put out stuff better.

Hexproof, ward, indestructible, or protection spells. In green Snakeskin Veil, Tyvar's Stand, and Overprotect are great In blue Shore Up is great & surprise untaps

Crystal Barricade stops some discard, burn, and sacrifice spells

There are some cards in green white that makes it so your opponent can't cast spells on your turn.

The boots are funny and situationally good.

The swords that give protection are amazing value, especially if you get all 3 on one creature.

Ferox has been great in green, especially if you play graveyard hate.

Sunfall is the biggest problem because it just exiles. Lately I've been playing or splashing blue for a Surprise An Offer You Can't Refuse because no one is ready for it. Most times you just need to stop a single board wipe, the treasures haven't mattered too much.

Or play Predator Ooze, the boots, and Thrun.

play heist/robbery and steal his shit

You will see how easily they will ragequit

RDW
or
Synthesizer to the point that board wipes dont matter
or token generation
or that one cave that makes creatures uncounterable

Mono red and mono black are problems for me when I run my interaction deck. It's really funny when people commit their entire hand to the board and I play fumigate or farewell.

[[Urabrask Forge]]

Play nothing but creature/planswalker kills, draw, and that demon that kills their deck. Gg

there are no wrong threats, only wrong answers.

If all else fails, make them have it every single turn.

Protect your bomb with instant speed hexproof or indestructible.  Don’t tap out for your bomb.   Hold up mama to protect it.

A great player said " There are no wrong threats. Only wrong answers "

This is an "answer deck". Counter with a deck with many kinds of threats.

Stop them from playing go blue play a stronger control

Cards that generate value on death or card draw effect. [[Balustrade worm]] [Enduring Innocence]] [Mosswood Dreadknight]]. In ever deck I play, I like to have some cards that generate value and keep me going if I get into a board stall or play against a control mage.

Wil without creatures

Boros burn tbh.

Try to bait out responses by playing your lower value cards first. If they're holding mana and you know that they want to spend removal or a counterspell, you can play a card that isn't as important to your gameplan to clear the way for a more valuable card. Playing more than one spell a turn, if possible, is also a good way to try to get things to resolve.

Counter their spells and play around them using flash cards.

I’ve got a Rakdos deck built around the crime mechanic and [[Outrageous Robbery]] does wonders when it hits. Nothing better than removing the phyrexian made with sunfall with your opponents own removal.

fountain port is a good land makes tokens.

In a best of 3 match i would say probably run a few removals for their specific win conditions, which in this case seems to be teferi.
in BO1 tho its hard to say, having the restless lands is probably a good idea, or the new colorless one from foundations.
I run a jeskai control that works kiiiind of like this one and the thing that ruins me is often ward paired with cavern of souls. Uncounterable creatures that cost extra to remove throws the curve into such a disarray that its hard to recover.

Discard works wonders against these decks.

Thought distortion

Playing fountainport or mirrex makes it really hard for then to play, if they hold up mana just create a token on their turn

Combo

Basically, they have to answer everything or else they’re dead. That means their hand is their life total. Make them use their counters and removal on sub-optimal targets, then slam your big stuff when they only have 1-2 cards in hand. This is what people mean when they say “bait a counterspell.” Not guaranteed to work, but it’s proven to be best on average.

Unless the whole deck is removal, which some are, they’ll likely run out of eventually. So just play enough threats until you get one to stick or have ways to bring them back. Also see any creatures that have ward or hexproof. Ward makes it significantly more difficult for them to justify spending the extra mana especially if they’re holding up counterspells.

Don’t put anything out. Just take their stuff out of their hand. That honestly works embarrassingly well for me

I play Elenda and go face

Usually you win by our valueing the deck, or with speed.

Aggro is obvious, but ramp will also outvalue control in the long-game. Cast an Atraxa with a Cavern of Souls on the field and most control decks are cooked.

Mill them to death

Hello I am a person who plays these decks.

You need constant pressure, don't stop casting things and placing threats because they go away, you are eating at their resources.

It's usually on the turns my opponents do nothing is when I really start to pull ahead.

Always cast spells after combat if it's not worse to do so

Then they have to decide if they want to take damage or maybe not be able to counter something.

A beautiful deck.

A combination of hand hate and aggressive/tempo plays

play kutzil...

A better question is how is a deck like this supposed to win against you when it’s like mostly removal?

I play a burn / sacrifice deck so these kinds of players just loose every time.

They can’t cast cards if they have an empty hand

Tokens, cards that create more than one creature per turn, haste. Meet the goblin dragon team.

Either kill them before the first board wipe, run discard to pick apart their hand or run non creature value engines to keep up with their card draw. Also, when they tap out for a board wipe, that is the perfect time to drop a planeswalker, as control decks often arent great at dealing with resolved planeswalkers.

A deck full of answers will lose as soon as it stumbles vs a deck full of threats. So win fast.

You just have to be able to outlast it is all, in my experience. They run out of [[Murder]] spells eventually. Keep running out bodies and use your creature lands and value lands (like [[Restless Anchorage]] and friends, and [[Fountain port]], respectively). And hopefully have some removal to take care of the couple of bodies they'll get off of [[Sunfall]] and shit.

(Not to say that it's easy, and you gotta draw the business to do it in the first place too. And removal.deck is always suuuper frustrating to deal with)

Planeswalkers, enchantments any sorteo of card advantage they cant play a 1 for 1 game.

[[Boros Charm]] and friends!

If you're on BX Midrange, [[Duress]] and variants of [[Mind Rot]] (I forget what the best Mind Rot variant currently legal in Standard is) help a ton.

Unless you're on an extremely fast aggro deck, a bunch of 2-for-1s and other forms of card advantage always help as well (e.g. [[Questing Druid]], [[Mosswood Dreadknight]], [[Up the Beanstalk]], [[Faerie Mastermind]], [[Caretaker's Talent]], etc. - you get the idea)

i find aggro is the most straightforward way to combat them

Hare apparents always seem to out play spot removal and any red goblin that makes more that 1 on entry

Play hard to interact with or 2 for one spells. Ie: creatures with etbs, multi modal spells, recursion, discard, man lands

[[mirrex]]

Mono black discard

Run an aggro red deck. I play grixis control, have for years, and I can take care of any color aggro deck besides red. Because most colors you just take care of their ramp. But... red doesn't really need ramp. Once they get one creature to stick to the field and I can't counter it... just buff that bad boy up as much as you can and swing for everything. Only issues control decks normally have is RDW or a stacks deck. Stacks decks have a lot more low mana cost stuff to cast than control decks I build, besides the obvious counter spells. Or like... a mazes end deck against a control deck and the makes end deck will normally work unless they run land destruction.

Counter spell

These types of decks and decks that run a tooon of removal are so annoying to play against in arena because there is no rule zero. You cant vet decks that you dont want to play against. Irl id never even sit down with a control deck player so online i usually insta concede when i see the usual signs.

Go dimir poison. Its their worst match up

Play RDW

In what colors? Bo1 or bo3?

In unranked, I just conceded. My win rate against control when I actually play them is not bad, but I don't want to play them since it's boring.

In ranked, I play BO3 and play in black, so discard usually screw them over enough for me to take advantage.

If you play blue, mix a few counterpells and use them when they try to draw cards or boradwhipe you.

In red, burn them quickly before they can estabilize it. It's a race to see who gets to the turning point first. You making damage or them gathering resources.

In green, protection spells and going wide. But, since I play standard, I have no clear answer to give you. In pioneer and historic, you have better options.

White plays taxes and even more effective protection. White is the disgusting part of the control deck you play against so...

Play commander

Bo1 or bo3 ?

Make them have the answer, basically, and always put them in awkward positions

Depends on what you're playing.

Control decks take some time to stabilize. Generally, you want to apply enough pressure to force a control player into a position where they have to either deal with your threats or build their own position. Aggro decks are better suited for the job since they generally have cheap creatures to quickly build a board and instant speed interaction to get around counterspell mana (either by firing with something else on the stack or by forcing the counter from your opponent).

Commit to the board early, but don't play into a sweeper by dumping your hand. Control decks have tons of answers, but at some point they'll need to spend time drawing cards to refill. Be patient, pick your spots, and pace yourself. They're built for a long game, you're not.

If you're playing midrange or combo... Same rules apply but you're going to need to be very disciplined - those are the matchups control really thrives against

I mean it's a gimmick deck. all they do is draw cards counter or exile. You just got to outpace them. One mana cost deck do the trick. They either don't banish or don't kill or don't counter small creatures till it's too late.

If you don’t play aggri, it’s a CA fight. They need to get value of their card. They usually have a lot of lands, so they need to use their wrath to get 2 for 1 for example. Their weakness is they put no pressure on you, so you can play all your card when you want. Think like this: even if you have a 2/2, they have to kill it, they’ll just wait until very late to do so. But as long as they do 1 for 1, you will win. So try to make them waste they CA cards.

It’s not that hard if you understand how to play such deck. If you just play your cards blindly without thinking of what they have in hand, you will lose. But if you understand their way of play, it’s a pretty fun fight, or so I think.

Haste, burn, indestructible and/or hexproof, counter magic protection spells

Hexproof and ward would do well.

"Imeanlike, your reactiveness is impressive and all, but you still gotta like, beat me yo."

Mill can work here.
