Blood Moon  and Magus of the Moon  were two that were on the tip of my tongue when I posted in the other thread.

In the same vein as Ruination  , I find Back to Basics  to be pretty useful. Also, if you know your opponents run heavy ramp, Price of Progress  can be quite the blowout. Recently, R2R gave us Cyclonic Rift  and Vandalblast  . If your opponents are heavy on permission (or even combat tricks), Mana Web  or Price of Glory  are good options. I used to be in a pretty Blue-heavy meta, and things like Red Elemental Blast  / Pyroblast  or Burnout  always took people by surprise. Stranglehold  is also stellar against combo. ... just looking over these suggestions, it seems like an Izzet deck would make for some pretty solid Haterade. EDIT: Crackdown

Ruination and friends don't do much against monocolored. Be wary!

Gather Specimens  for creature theft, including commanders. Or mass theft when coupled with Sudden Disappearance  . For mono black decks (and the rare mono red deck): Circle of Protection: Black  &/or Rune of Protection: Red  . For instant speed graveyard hate Suffer the Past  is a winner. Rite of Replication  can be just flat dirty, and it's like $1 or $2. Sadistic Sacrament  can neuter an opponent in one stroke.

Wipe Away  This card is an all star. It does so much more than it seems at first glance. Knowledge Exploitation  is usually a 7 or 4 mana Time Stretch  in my group. Boseiju, Who Shelters All  goes in every single deck of mine. Pithing Needle  Stops a lot of combos Commandeer  , Acquire  Hallowed Burial  , Condemn  , Snuff Out  , Painful Quandary  , Ashes to Ashes  , Return to Dust  , Krosan Grip  , Cyclonic Rift , Genesis Wave  Thada Adel, Acquisitor  , Praetor's Grasp  , Sadistic Sacrament Tormod's Crypt  , Nihil Spellbomb  , Relic of progenitus  Defense Grid  , Choke  , Price of Glory , Manabarbs  , Citadel of Pain  , Zo-Zu the Punisher  Counter spell cards usually aren't expensive and are good at exactly what you said: Counterspell  Negate  Dream Fracture  Arcane Denial  Last Word  Stoic Rebuttal  Hinder  Spell Crumple  Dismiss  Exclude  Scattering Stroke  And that's all the ones I would consider running that aren't expensive. Pricier ones: Cryptic Command  Mana Drain  Draining Whelk  Pact of Negation  Force of Will  I can keep going and I left a bunch out because they were mentioned already. I re-mentioned some of the bigger ones.

Carry Away  : I mean who isn't running any equipment these days? And how often do fancy  footwear  , some spiffy armor  or a sweet duster  make an opposing creature nearly impossible to deal with? And that's just the defensive stuff!
