Blood baron hate

Is there any way to get rid of Blood Baron of Vizkopa ? The deck I am using is a B/G self-mill, so I'd like it to stay in those colors.
Blood Baroness is a weiner, just Doom Blade her, or Hero's Downfall , or Chained to the Rocks , or Detention Sphere or Swords to Plowshares , that little princess is too easy to deal with.

Ok RTG is white, but for others looking for similar answers, this may fit them.

heroic Agent of Fates
possibly Shrike Harpy
those all get through his pro black, and are standard.
for green it's just large creatures and a fight kind of card, or a force to block, there are plenty out there.

The best answers to Blood Baron are Devour Flesh , Lifebane Zombie , or Thoughtseize .

Rapid Hybridization is the best way other than Mortars. Hope this helped :)

Zuckfat: I can't tell if you are being serious here. Blood Baron of Vizkopa can't be dealt with by any of your suggested means

As a G/B player I use Scavenging Ooze and sometimes Desecration Demon gets him too.
Game 2 I always side in Ratchet Bomb . Also works well against Pack Rat which they may or may not also be running.

In green you can do a few things: flash in either Boon Satyr or Advent of the Wurm and block, bloodrush something green with Wasteland Viper (assuming you can trick him into blocking), using something like Giant Growth to pump a green creature, Plummet and Windstorm work if he's pumped (although you've probably lost by that point anyway), and then there's always sac effects like Devour Flesh and Far / Away
For your deck, I'd say your best bet is probably the Boon Satyr .

Lifebane Zombie , Devour Flesh , and Thoughtseize are the best for this.
Boon Satyr can be treated as a 3cmc kill spell for him.
Polukranos, World Eater and Arbor Colossus can stonewall him.
Not sure I'd run it but Nessian Wilds Ravager is an option.

Well, one of the few things to get rid of the Baron is Mizzium Mortars , and that's outside of your colours.
There's pro W/B, so let's look at G. You could have him fight a big green creature using Pit Fight , or something with deathtouch (Wasteland Viper ?) Plummet would work when he's boosted. A Gaze of Granite on X = 5 would do the trick also. That's about all I can think up though. Blood Baron has been the reason I've won many games, including against G/B dredge. I think your best shot is outspeeding your opponent, and to have a winning board state before turn 5 :/
