Hi all,

As you all know, blue is strong in the actual Meta.
Faeries, Merfolks and even a little Teferi...

What are the best hate card in the meta?

Raking Canopy?
Guttural Response?
Eyes of the Wisent?
Oversoul of Dusk?
Squall Line?
Firespout?

Other?

Oversoul of Dusk is a Beatstick in most Green and/or White Decks, and It Stomps all over Faeries. I'd say that's #1 since the only way Blue can stop it is with a counterspell. Gutteral Response can take care of the counterspells in that case.

Do you mean faeries? or blue decks in general.

Faerie hosers (if they resolve)

Firespout
Sulfurous blast
Magus of the Moon
Squall line
Cloudthresher

Merfolk hosers (same)

Damnation

There is no "best" hate card for blue (except pyroblast/red elemental blast). No color has purely one focus. Blue has counterspells, fliers, bounce etc.

To stop counterspells:
-Vexhing shusher
-Gutterul response

Top stop fliers:
-Raking canopy
-Squall line
-Cloudthresher
-any mass removal spell (firesprout, wraths)

You need to tackle the elements in those decks to beat, not the color itself.
