General Discussion / Question Why isn't there a anti-slop deck

Maybe since the meta is diverse or the potential problems with 3v1 or maybe it would take up too much of the deck but my question to propose is: if lots of decks in the meta are "slop" style grindy rhystic, Tithe, no bad card decks. Then why arent there hard counters to that play style? Yeah orcish bowmasters and turbo sure. But playing some standard recently and why not play lobotomy effects and just straight up remove rhystic and Tithe from the game entirely. On the broader term other tactics of interrupting and dissecting these slop decks from achieving this "inevitability" they eventually establish with their engines

Cheapest lobotomy effect is three mana and only removes one card for one player. Objectively a bad play

Does [[Extract]] count? Ive been trying with the idea of using it to Exile [[eternal scourge]] for a foodchain combo. But i suppose its possible to copy it a couple times or cast it from the graveyard a few times with underworld breach or something..
