I'm currently playing a version of American Flash with Aurelia, The Warleader which contains a lot more counter-magic. And I must say, the only cards that scare me are Obzedat, and Unburial Rites.

There a just so few ways for Ameican Flash to deal with him. I either need to save a Counterspell for him, or Azorius Charm him if they decide to attack, which really doesn't deal with him.

Unburial rites is scary just because of the creatures that follow. I MB 2 Dissipates and 1 Syncopate just because of that card there, hoping to have one when they cast it.

The standard american control decks are really hard to beat right now, I was wondering what cards in Green, White, or Black are very strong against the popular american control decks you see today?





Mind Rot
Duress
Appetite for Brains
Dimir Charm
Jace, Memory Adept
Black Cat
Brain Weevil
Corpse Traders
Drainpipe Vermin
Gruesome Discovery
Liliana of the Veil
Mental Agony
Mental Vapors
Ravenous Rats
Wit's End


The idea is to rip their hand apart.  Obviously the best cards to do this with is Duress , Liliana of the Veil , and Mind Rot .  If they spend their counters on those they aren't spending their counters on your threats.  If they don't counter it you are going to take the counter and kill magic out of their hand.  Eitherway it's a win/win for you.

I think you're asking the wrong question.  You shouldn't look for single cards to beat a deck, you need to look at your strategy as a whole.  Liliana of the Veil is good against any kind of control, but you can't just stick a few in your sideboard and expect that to take care of everything.  The most obvious reason is that there's a good chance you simply won't draw that card in the match, so you can't rely on any one thing to win for you.  If your deck as a whole can't deal with what your opponent is doing, then a few hate cards in the board are not going to be enough.
