MTG Combo: Laboratory Maniac + Mind Over Matter

I like where you went with this - although perhaps because it's very similar to what I was doing in between the two versions of Meren on my profile, so I may be biased.

But... how do you fare against creature-light combo decks or creature-based combos that just go off, such as Boonweaver or Jarad's several options? A lot of your value seems dependent on making trades at parity and then recurring creatures for card advantage that these decks just shrug off.

For example, I see almost no way for you to stop a Laboratory Maniac + Mind Over Matter combo. Is this simply a result of your local meta being more creature heavy?
