short question: why do blue players get hate for counterspell but normal removal is not hated?

As a player who hates control..those are all valid counters

They key to avoiding a counter is playing into the counter with something big you don't mind loosing, put pressure on the blue player to use up resources each one you draw out is a victory and save the best spell for the last cast when you are mostly positive they cannot counter you further, all the better if your in a multiman game right after the blue player. You should mess with them the MOST as they will have to weigh every counter more heavily then the person right before their turn.

to be completely 100% perfectly fair... when 3 of those 4 cards are cast, everyone is begging for the blue player to have an answer

But ask any control player; they will say they don't have many counter spells.

Being mad that your Avacyn got countered is like being mad at Han Solo for shooting first. You were already gonna do it he did it faster 😭😭

those cards are terrible and limited or constructed, so we're assuming this is an EDH game, the other two people in the pod should be shin kicking the control player. It's impossible to play control really functionally without some sort of politics at a table of four.

I'm on the control player's side on this one. You don't simply play Avacyn.

just waiting for the mtg zeitgeist renaissance where new-to-mid level players begin to understand that you don’t have to just slam ur big spells on curve right into counterspells. bait it out. run interaction of ur own. u can timmy responsibly

This is a very compelling argument as to why control players are necessary for the health of the game

And this is why I just scoop on a blue mana drop or a heist card. I have better things to do with my life.
