Next thing to that would be graveyard hate to stop the reanimate decks. I have played a deck on #apprentice that did exactly this, removed all library fromt he game but the problem he had was he couldn't stop my creatures. So if a balance can be found in this department then it could protentially beat the non-burn/aggro decks. Worth notes would be suppression fields and defence grids. With these 2 cards in play it effectively kills Triskittron. Problem would be getting it into play. Burn is a real problem but to get around burn it's discard as they generally don't have any way of drawing more cards. Spell snare here is a very good spell vs control and burn as a lot counter spells cost 2 and a lot of burn cost 2 as well. Vs that sort of decks though is using walls as they can't beat through cheap walls and waste valuable cheap spells to kill a stupid wall, especially if they can't target you through worship. With green beaters, a well time faith's fetters or something similar can null it. As you can see most of what I suggested is control control control. It's hard to build a deck that beats all the decks, probably just make a deck that can beat the top 2 decks and sideboard the rest. Add to that list, the Soggy Pickles deck and WB rack Seems like to beat the meta game you have to play control and more specifically library hate so with cards like hide//seek, jester’s cap, traumatize, glimsps of the unthinkable, it can be done.
