I mean, you are playing a deck with access to both black and white. There are unlimited options for removal. You can go for slightly expensive but catch-all options like the classic Oblivion Ring , or even Detention Sphere . You can go for cheaper (and instant) kill spells in black, where classics include stuff like Fatal Push . I used to even play Faith's Fetters in a UW Gifts Tron list. You could also always consider Anguished Unmaking .

Generally, the best option is to diversify so you can Gifts Ungiven for (at least) 3 different spells that all solve the problem at hand. This requirement is kind of loosened by running Snapcaster Mage / Mission Briefing / Torrential Gearhulk .

So I just played this deck in a 4 way game, and it performed pretty well; I managed to swing 14 unblockable commander on one turn with Aether Tunnel attached to Saitama I mean Shu Yun. Next turn a guy plays a spot removal card on Shu Yun.

And that's when I searched my entire deck and found that there were precisely two cards that could help me get rid of Faith's Fetters .

So, yeah, this deck has a glaring weakness to aura-based creature neutralization. Deadpoo111 was saying to drop a lot of bounce cards, but I was sitting there for multiple turns able to do nothing but occasionally try to counterspell or buff other player's creatures to help them kill each other. I finally got Shu back to the command zone when someone cracked a Perilous Vault .

So, two things. One, Deadpoo111 was right about unblockable enchantments making Shu a huge target. And two, he was wrong about the lack of need for bounce spells.

Daybreak Coronet , Hero of Iroas , Sram, Senior Edificer , Swords to Plowshares , Darksteel Mutation , and Faith's Fetters . Your deck could use more removal, cards draw, and less shroud effects, more hexproof.

Cage of Hands , Faith's Fetters , Prison Term for aura based removal... I have always like Mystic Restraints but I’m biased towards it

I don't like Phyrexian Rebirth , Martial Coup , Bant Charm , and honestly most of your creature base. Shalai, Voice of Plenty Nylea's Colossus Archetype of Courage Loyal Guardian Celestial Ancient and Yavimaya Enchantress seem pretty bad in particular. I dont understand the +1/+1 theme you have here, you only have 20 creatures.

I would add Crush Contraband and or Return to Dust . Beast Within and Swords to Plowshares are also no brainers. Three Dreams is another solid one, it can search for pumps like Eldrazi Conscription and even pseudo-removal like Control Magic or Faith's Fetters

I played against this befor but he didn't use pingers he used big creatures and like 12 counterspells. I had a very hard time beating the deck. The only way I could beat him was to flash in Cho-Manno's Blessing on Ley Weaver when he goes to target it with Freed from the Reel. Once freed from the reel is in the graveyard I'd a have chance to win, but if I don't finish quick, the card draw will keep him in pace for the win. So I needed Faith's Fetters to shutdown his Lore Weaver , but this is all considering he doesn't counter either one spell.

So from personal experience against the deck I know that you should be running way more counterspells.

Saturn somersaults was my only deck that could beat him because I had lots of removal and ot was fast and I had card draw. But if the game went long. His card draw was superior.

Again I suggest adding like 8 counterspells

I love the aura/curse theme, I had one a few years back that was made for casual play. It was a really slow paced pure black deck relying on lasting 5 turns and playing a curse of misfortunes.

I removed 3x Fallen Ideal and 2x Bitterheart Witch and 3x Faith's Fetters . To replace them I added 4x Ethereal Armor and 4x Cartouche of Solidarity .

I like the witch, and ran a playset of it in my casual deck, but I kept running into mana issues and not being able to afford the witch. Plus you have the issue of having to kill it off. I would rather be more aggressive early game with the one mana enchantments, and still have curse of misfortunes to rely on for later game curse combos if it drags on that long.
