I normally go for making someone angry, but that also works.

2) Know how to play optimally. This sounds silly as well, and yet only a handful of people have probably mastered it (and I'm definitely not one of them). Some of it is simple; don't counter tutors, cantrips, or mana, counter what they play off them. This way the expend more resources and also don't have a chance of randomly drawing that card they tutored for later. Don't counter draw spells unless they generate enough advantage to be worth it, like Recall.




Another good one:  Know when to break the Serene's rules.  If your oppoent just laid down 4 artifact mana, gushed 2 land back to hand, played one out,  played out 2 rituals, one more artifact mana then plays Demonic Tutor with one card left in their hand, unless you are sitting on Flusterstorm , you go right ahead and counter that tutor, or you'll be eating a Tendrils of Agony .  They can go right ahead and pick that card up next turn.

A good Storm player wouldn't have saved the Tutor until the end of the combo and thus bottlenecked himself into countermagic...but yes, if they do bottleneck visibly like this, counters are well placed.
