In all of them, charm sucks pretty badly. 



G/W/X midrange generally relies on a large number of tokens and accelerators. UWR runs Verdict and wants to trade in combat a lot. Reanimator may be a loss at times, but the Seance and Hoof variants are actually both very weak to it.



I said, midrange, not aggro, uwr isn't a deck that does a lot of trades, pretty much nobody runs seance.

I dunno what midrange decks you're talking about, but the ones I see have Elves and Souls. UWR still runs Verdict and at least interacts in combat enough that regenerating is good... or just killing that Angel post-combat. Or taking out Haunt tokens and Snapcasters. And Hoof! is the most-played variant of reanimator right now.

by "g/w/x midrange", I meant like Conley's list from San Antonio.

Ah, gotcha. That's a bit different. Still, that's another example of lots of trading happening for most decks.

 I was going to play BR aggro at FNM this week but after all this discussion I am just about to back out on it. Its a good deck but those Naya decks Burning_Forest posted(especially Kaies) look great and well suited to take down just about anything at my meta. 
 Did some testing last night and alot of it was BR vs UW Flash or BR vs GW and Flash is at a huge loss now with cavern being back in the spotlight. My friend doesn't feel that way but he lost practically every game but one when I was playing BR against UW. He's stubborn I guess.
  I feel like pillar of flames and Ultimate price or Pillar of flames and Selesnya charm is a good place to start building a deck geared to fight the aggro menace that has won two consecutive GP.

b/r is a really hard matchup for flash.
and if you want to play b/r, play searing spear. its the best removal spell in the format.

Yeah, it takes out all the relevant guys in b/r, like aristocrat and thundermaw.
