Against 4c Control, we have to be aggressor. There is no way we are beating K Command and hymn with Esper colors. Flusterstorm helps to combat their card advantage cards and lets us protect an early mentor. They have a fairly hard time answering us going wide with mentor, or dealing with angler but nothing really hoses their deck really hard. They literally can't kill black or white enchantments, but there is nothing I think of that is playable that would really hose them without hurting us. Maybe something like bitterblossom?
It is like playing the midrange vs (pre-ban) miracles matchup: you are not going out grind them no matter what cards you play, if you are going to win, you need to be the beat down.
