a well timed clean fall will win the game vs ideal, but you have 4 castigate and 2 void, i wouldn't have thought combo would be a problem, crank up the number of voids or add distresses if you like.

festering goblin? plagued rusalka is alot better, and this deck is begging for an ink eyes.

Forget about the instant or sorcery cards that have some effect after the Ideal is played, because its useless. Here's the thing, Ideal is running Dovescape now, so the cleanfalls and mortifys do nothing. To me the real answer to those decks is cards like castigate, nightmare void and cranial extraction. I would have said Mindslicer but this is not a Husk list.. he's mean tho !

Looks more like aggro with some creature control and even less disruption.
