Mm'menon, the Right Hand
Eventually you'll get to a point where the deck runs efficiently, is fun to play, and is a force to be reckoned with

DON'T counter ramp cards (Kodama's Reach), single-use tutors (Demonic Tutor), random fatty creatures that don't have a threatening enter-the-battlefield trigger and can't attack through your drakes (Wurmcoil Engine), or anything you can deal with using a bounce spell already in your hand DO counter fatties that can't be chumped blocked by drakes (Blightsteel Colossus) if you don't have creature removal in hand, cards that make future counter magic a pain to cast (Hall of Gemstone), anything that generates excessive amounts of card advantage (Greater Good), or any card that you know has a tendency to win games in short order (Prophet of Kruphix)
Whether used in control, tempo, aggro, token, or midrange, whether in maindecks or sideboards, Avacyn put in work
