I haven't been to a FNM in a while, but I have a pretty decent (pre-Origins) b/w Warrior Aggro deck
Oppressive Blood-Chin Warriors of Orzhov.. Playtest

And this next weekend I'm going to be squaring off against a u/g TurboFog/Mill deck. I think I'm pretty well positioned against such a deck, but I wanted to ask if there are any particular Fog/Mill hate in Standard at the moment.. It's not a huge deal, but I also happen to be the guy's martial arts instructor, so the idea of keeping the upper-hand against him in this respect as well just seems like a good idea..

@DarkAurora7: Well, the problem is is that neither of those are in my colors..

Okay, so what I'm going to adjust for this particular match is: -3x Valorous Stance, and -1x Ultimate Price for 2x Revoke Existence, 1x Blood-Chin Fanatic, & 1x Gods Willing. How does that sound?

It sounds good, but I'm trying to understand the point of the Gods Willing do you think they have walls/beaters that you need to be worried about? Oh if you're worried about the mill, Cranial Archive is an excellent card to reset yourself.

I was considering the possibility of something like Disperse, but Cranial Archive sounds perfect. I knew there was something like Elixir of Immortality in standard at the moment, but I couldn't think of what it was..

Wow..
Just for an update, it turns none of these adjustments were necessary; a) I never got a chance to use those cards & b) He was running some newbie uber-jank (ex. out of 61 cards--he was running 28 lands!).. So after running him other really hard four times in a row, I took the time to look over his deck and gave him a bunch of basic pointers.. For one thing, I told him to knock-down his land count to 22, and to find some more counterspells (he was only running 3xNegates), etc.. I basically told him that since he was running a Control deck, he should essentially be the embodiment of "Nope!"
"I'm going to play.." "Nope!"
"I swing for X damage.." "Nope!"
"I'm going to..." "Nope!"
So, hopefully he takes this and runs with it, and comes back with something super-frustrating to play against (like I thought it was going to be to begin with)..

The main anti-tutelage cards are Dromoka's Command and Wild Slash against fogs.
