mtg cards that give counters put some kind of counter on artifacts : r/magicTCG Let Me Count The Ways:

Then listen to the sweet sound of your opponents telling you how much they hate you

The small number of answer cards that you can play should be geared to counter the cards that might shut down your own game plan (like blocking creatures)

Blinking just doesnt do enough often enough, even when you add first strike to the mix
