Counterspells?

[Ripplez]

you have other forms of slowing down the enemy - destruction, combat, control cards. without counters, you would still have ways to continue to influence the opponent

I've realized that. I am trying to learn to play a control deck. I've got a Grixis control deck and it mainly focuses on killing critters (2 damage to everything spells while most of my critters are 3+ toughness) with a few counters thrown in. I realized that control doesn't mean counter spells once when I got rolled by a red & white control deck.
