Need assistance with PC + CotW

Currently running UR as my main deck.

Getting sick of Preeminent Captain + Captain of the Watch on turn 4. What are some good ways to deal with this? Preferably within red/blue

Are you just gonna disregard counter spells? I don't mean that sarcastically or maliciously, just curious about your play style :)

Aw...it's such an awesome combo though!

I fail to see the combo. I see a cute synergy, but no combo...

Somebody enlighten me?

On the rare occasion I have one in my hand, if I keep floating mana waiting for it I fall too far behind, which against RW is kinda dangerous :(

Anything I can keep spell named x from being cast?

Uh, I think I follow. You don't often have open mana, or counterspells in hand ready for such a thing?

Well, the games are typically short. If I'm leaving mana open for the counterspell, I don't have enough to get out my commander or anything else to defend myself. The pairing is in a high-aggro deck, so if I don't have anything out by then I get flattened within the next two turns, captain or not

Nix, Izzet Charm, and Martyr of Frost are three recommendations I've been giving. Thanks for your time!

Can I close or delete this?
