What (standard) white and black cards do control decks currently struggle against the most?

Mainly looking at UW as on paper (and a bit of testing) it appears to be my worst matchup.

Cards I'm considering currently are Myth Realized , Gideon, Ally of Zendikar and Erebos's Titan

Gideon is strong if he can stick to the board, whether you're going wide with the tokens or swinging for 5 indestructible a turn you're in a good spot.

It is worth mentioning that Anguished Unmaking and Stasis Snare are consistently either in main or side boards, but assuming it's not in their hand, then yeah Gideons a pain!
