Hi,

im planning on playing a mono white deck (martyr) but have no clue how to beat hive mind. The only thing I can think of is angel's grace, but thats not really going to cut it..

Any suggestions?

Mana Tithe .  You can counter your own copy of the spell and choose not to pay for it.
White has plenty of ways to destroy the enchantment, but that's all I can come up with right now to deal with it after they've already used it.

Thanks for the reply, wont they just counter the mana tithe? (pact of negation for example?) And if they have 2 pacts you are pretty screwed as well, since you can only counter one.

Destroying the enchantment isnt a solution I think. Cause they will only play it if they have a pact ready.

I may be missing something here, but isnt plan A for you to just swing for lethel before they go off?
To me, there is no such thing as an evil personality trait or spiritual condition. There is only sin, concrete and deliberate action that is simply wrong.
  It is what happens when one goes against one's nature. It germinates in the shadow of risks untaken. It ripens in power exorcised. Beings like us can take risks no one else can, and exorcise power no one else has. We have the greatest capacity for sin, through action, or inaction.

Meh, not sure whether this is entirely accurate, at least for concept decks. Sometimes an unrefined idea cannot beat the top dogs at first, but with a few suggestions and heavy playtesting, they might get there. Islands' diamond in the rough lists are a good rebuttal to your statement.



Islands' decks are more gazing into the abyss of madness and madness staring back at you. With Manamorphose.

Angel's Grace actually would completely save you. If they play more than one Pact, they definitely won't be able to pay for them all on their upkeep.

Another option is to not worry about it because Hive Mind isn't a very good deck in Modern.
