How can I beat direct damage and none creature heavy decks with this?

This deck is designed to use the opponents creatures against him/her while preventing their attempts to stop this from happening. Counters such as Cancel and Dream Fracture obviously help this but Puppeteer also helps to lock down the field and provide more control.

The use of Archaeomancer and Mnemonic Wall allow you to ensure that you have much needed counter spells in your hand at all times and assuming you have the mana this will obviously give you an edge.

Transguild Promenade is also a useful card in this deck. If you are going to be stealing your opponents creatures it comes in handy to be able to use their abilities as well. As Transguild Promenade taps for any colour mana it allows you to use abilities from creatures that you wouldn't usually be able to.

The key cards in this deck are Clone , Mind Control and Roil Elemental. By the time you have Roil Elemental in play and assuming you have the cards to protect it you should theoretically stand a very good chance of winning.

The down side to this deck is that it doesn't stand up well to mill decks and decks with very few creatures as it relies on using creature cards to function successfully. It may also struggle against very fast decks as it doesn't really get going until mid game, of course with the correct cards you should be able to slow the pace enough to take the advantage.
