It's a question I've been meaning to ask for a while now, what decks do other fellow player hate facing against? For me it's U/B Faeries. Play more during your turn than on your own? Check. Evasive creatures during every upkeep? Check. Outrageous effects that lock an opponent while beating face in the air? Check. Again this is just my opinion, but it's sometimes nicer to face an opponent that plays things on their turn.

Combo decks in casual games. "And now I lock you down with Mindslaver  and return it at the beginning of my turn with Academy Ruins  ." "Alright, GG, I gue..." "Wait, I'm not done! I want to kill you with your own spells! Please wait a bit." "Alright..." *Three turns later* "Okay, so I drew a Lightning Bolt  . I'm gonna tap your lands and hit you with it. Hah! See? Now you're down to 13!" "That's great. I'll go get a soda in the fridge. You just tell me when you're done playing with yourself so I can get my deck back." "Yeah, sure." He was still playing when I got back.

Ouch, that's not even fair, counters are one thing, but that deserves getting punched over, not even I would do something like that, and I use Peregrine Drake  Venser, Shaper Savant  and 2 Deadeye Navigator

There's this guy I invariably ran into at every FNM with a GW deck that gave me huge trouble. It wasn't all that uncommon for him to go first turn Avacyn's Pilgrim  into second turn Loxodon Smiter  and third turn Silverblade Paladin  and Rancor  . Even when it wasn't that, it was Centaur Healer  s and Thragtusk  s all day long. Others didn't seem to have nearly as much trouble with the deck as I had, but my RDW was helpless.

RDW seems to give my casual meta a tough time, they asked me to stop playing mine, as it ended games on turns 4 to 5.

Nothing agonizingly painful for me in standard right now, but I'm not too fond of decks where every card is a money rare ripped straight off the decklists of the last GP top 8.

- THE elf deck everybody seems to have with only 1 or 2 card changing. Always the same and sometimes it's even pre-built. - Mill decks based on Megrim  , Liliana's Caress  & Underworld dreams  . Same as the elfs, seen too often. - Semi-LD decks. Those that can only annoy you but can't beat you with it.
My decks, mostly casuals, but some I use online with some small changes:

There's no decks that I dislike playing agaisnt, but people that I dislike playing agaisnt. "oh I rolled a dice and it landed on my wrath deck".... "ok I'll play my creatureless deck!" But if you'd want an absolute worst, it would have to be LD/discard with the broken cards : sinkhole  , hymn to tourach  , strip mine  and wasteland  just to name a few.
I love trolls   Dont hate me because I'm blunt and you cannot handle it

In a "you can play whatever you have" format I have to go with Blue Control Magic, followed by white/blue control/color screwing.
In time they will join you in the Sun-Man of Steel
