Will you all please help me with this? My friend has the most annoying Bruna deck, and i cannot do much. He has spectral ward in the deck, along with corrupted conscience and things that make it unblockable, please help, I would like to make edits to my Ob nixilis deck
Diabolic Edict and similar effects can deal with Bruna if she's the only creature, Damnation and other field wipes ignore Spectra Ward, Leyline of the Void can stop Bruna from getting all her auras back from the graveyard. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you can do in Mono-.

Bruna, Light of Alabaster comes in with no auras on it and ahs to attack or block before it gets any. Just kill it at instant speed before that happens. IF you want to deal with her repeatedly, something like Dictate of Erebos and a sacrifice outlet plus a creature that returns from the graveyard will be super effective, eg Reassembling Skeleton + Ashnod's Altar.

I would run enchantment hate Tranquil Grove, Calming Verse, Cleansing Meditation, Bane of Progress and edict effects Dictate of Erebos, Grave Pact, Butcher of Malakir, I would run Insurrection effects like Mob Rule. Grave yard hate. Like Rest in Peace, God there's so many. Steal effects like Blatant Thievery, Control Magic, I would run effects that take his CMDR out the game entirely like Song of the Dryads, Imprisoned in the Moon, Lignify, Darksteel Mutation, even Prison Term. Now this one works great because if she has hexproof you could put this out on a creature before she's out and when she comes out it slides over to her getting around hexproof. And she never attacks.

Colorless removal like Spine of Ish Sah, Scour from Existence, and Karn Liberated is kind of expensive mana wise but might help. Otherwise I would use edict effects like other people have said. Things like Fleshbag Marauder, Merciless Executioner, Chainer's Edict, Diabolic Edict, etc. Instant speed removal that can hit bruna is also good, stuff like Go for the Throat, Doom Blade, Hero's Downfall, Silence the Believers, etc. Besides that there isn't much you can do about enchantments in mono.

Sorry for the double post, but you could also run grave hate cards like Relic of Progenitus, Tormod's Crypt, Crook of Condemnation, Silent Gravestone, and Leyline of the Void. Then use cards like Mindslicer, Duress, Oppression, Words of Waste, Hymn to Tourach, Painful Quandary, etc. to shred his hand and exile all of his auras. He might not like you for that though.

If you guys have any card ideas or how to better use cards it would all be appreciated.
