UW Mid needs to deal with Planeswalkers
Standard Deck Help forum

I have been playing this UW midrange build in standard right now. It is really consistent and really successful, but I find issues dealing with opposing planeswalkers. Shy of full out attacking them or hoping I have Negate in hand when my opponent plays one I have nothing. Does UW do anything else against planeswalkers?
Bouncing slows my problem more than eliminates it I think. I thought about the splash for Anguished Unmaking, but I need triple white and double blue kinda frequently so adding black may not be my best option. White needs an "exile target permanent" spell again.

It does. I'm sorry that there isn't a lot in standard now.

Quarantine Field is probably your most direct option for dealing with planeswalkers.

Yea...that may be a good option in the side in place of Aligned Hedron Network and maybe even Descend upon the Sinful. I forgot that card existed.

For white planeswalker removal, Quarantine Field is your best bet. For blue, bounce is your best bet (Disperse). If you splashed black, you can use instead use Shambling Vent and Caves of Koilos to aid in the keeping the white there while just having black available, because Anguished Unmaking is just so much better than the other 2 previously mentioned options.

Maybe I need some Caves then. where so I stick an Anguished Unmaking now? I'm unsure what I could use it in place of.

Disperse and Compelling Deterrence are good bounce spells. You could splash black with Choked Estuary and Sunken Hollow for Anguished Unmaking.
