it would be easy to argue that G/W Takes too big of a hit to be viable after born hits too but at the end of the day people will figure out a way to play the cards they have too.
Mistcutter does have its limits but because of haste you can squeeze in that 2-4 dmg when they've tapped out dealing with your other threats. Mistcutter is good against control for more than pro blue and uncounterable and when you can do stuff like Advent, mistcutter for 4 on the turn after they tap out to clear your field and swing for 9 anyway its definitely useful.
I guess my point is elaborate and opinion based but the control match ups are bad right now for aggro not because of mass removal but they're bad because people haven't made full use of the tools we have to squeeze through that last little bit of damage.
I May be abit grumpier than usual but this weekend I dropped a mistcutter from my main board for an archangel and lost 2 games against Mono B and 3 against U/W Control because I pulled an Angel instead of a Mistcutter. So its really nothing personal im just frustrated :3
