The idea
is to play cruel hand destruction and reduction such as Thoughtseize, Duress, and the likes. Remember, sometimes the best strategy here is to systematically take out every one of their cheapest plays in order, so that the first thing they cast is that Stormbreath Dragon.
Shut your opponent down
by not letting them get anything done- Spirit of the Labyrinth definitely helps make sure they can't draw up, and B/R/W has the best hard removal suite in all of Magic right now.
Keep the pressure on
with Waste Not and your small guys. Underworld Connections helps you keep your hand full by allowing you to draw on their turn (so that Spirit of the Labyrinth doesn't ruin you, too.)
FINISH THEM
with your evasive beaters- Stormbreath Dragon, Obzedat, Ghost Council, and Blood Baron of Vizkopa. Of course, Shrieking Affliction works too.
