So the name of the deck pretty much explains it, against creature heavy decks, you tempo your opponent out by just removing everything they play, and 3 and 4 toughness creature are super popular in the format, and even if I have to spend two spells on a creature to get rid of it, you're likely putting then further behind than you, so by making sure they have little to no significant field, then play midrange threats and generate lots of value. The only exception to this is a turn two thermo alchemist, who also generates a ton of value, getting two extra damage out of every burn spell you play, (tap, cast spell, untap, tap) and no one wants to waste spot removal on it. I feel it has a strong place in the format against aggressive creature based decks, and totally wrecks COCO (bant humans) , Zombies, red white humans, bw aristocrats, etc.

Rough match ups are bw control and superfriends decks, possibly uw spirits but I haven't tested it against that match up yet.

Any recommendations and comments are appreciated.
