Yeah, he's started doing it already lol He's been looking at better commanders and upgrading a bunch of stuff specifically to counter me lol. I suppose I'll just have to keep up by doing some upgrading of my own.

Thanks a ton mate. I played a game against him yesterday and took your advice, I added a few -X/-X spells to my deck and held up my counter magic/bounce spells for when he got close to having enough mana for the big threats while building up my board a bit early-game. He got his killer combo out but I immediately bounced them and whenever he tried to build his board I either countered, killed or bounced his stuff. I ended up winning with 40 health. He didn't seem best pleased lol.

Thanks for all the advice, I know I've not been playing optimally but I think I may have been getting a bit salty and blaming my deck when I seem to have enough tools to deal with the 2 main threats.

I was under the impression that because of the indestructible his creatures would survive negative counters unless they were permanent, indestructible seems a lot less daunting now as I thought my only options were to exile the big 2 or make him sac them.

Thanks for the card recommendations too, I'll definitely pick some of them up.
