Help with creature control!
Deck Help forum

I'm building a multiplayer Blue/Red deck around Hive Mind and a few other enchantments. I've tested it a few times and it works brilliantly (despite being hard to follow at times), but I've found it has a severe weakness to creatures.Can anyone suggest any cards for creature control? I'm open to anything realistically, but I feel like instants or enchantments would work best.
I know Blue and Red aren't much for damage prevention, but perhaps mass destroy or mass taps exist.
Suggestions, go!
Cryptic Command for tap-all, Anger of the Gods , Mizzium Mortars for boardwipes, Ensnaring Bridge for protection.

lemmingllama: Thanks! There's a couple of nifty choices in there.Blasphemous Act and Into the Roil look great, as well as maybe Wash Out . Other cards such as Capsize of Frost Breath are no good as they only affect one or two creatures at a time, which is no good if you're facing off against creature decks. Meanwhile, boardwipes such as Worldfire are definitely out of the question as it defeats the purpose of the deck. Destroying all permanents means no Hive Mind , means no Forced Fruition , no nothing. Thanks for your suggestions though!
Putrefy: Cryptic Command ! I'd completely forgotten about that card. Thanks!

... I just realised I wrote Into the Roil instead of Evacuation . Into the Roil is completely useless to me in this deck, haha.

Wash Out , Devastation Tide , Evacuation , Into the Roil , Capsize , Repulse . Blue has a lot of bounce that is good. Tap effects like Frost Breath don't cut it in my opinion.
Also Blasphemous Act , Jokulhaups , Worldfire , Apocalypse for destroy. For a Hive Mind deck, Breaking Point would be your best bet though.
