Yeah but you're presenting this as a false dilemma where the 2 choices are A) Try to colourscrew opp off white or B) Play postboard games vs control as the Game 1 deck with no SB whatsoever

In reality there are other choices available (e.e grind better with card advantage options like hymn / planeswalkers / infernal contract etc). Mr Safetys Bitterblossom idea is also in that space but I don't like that card because its too blank in situations where you are already successfully damaging yourself, weak vs plague engineer etc
