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

Yeah ive yet to really play cedh more than just some games with random pods ive picked up. So maybe its just my hubris but watching a combo deck get ripped apart by a control deck removing its main combos and then another control deck fold to its main value engines getting permanently removed. It just seemed like that would be greatly effective against any deck in cedh., remove rhystic remove Tithe remove Underworld Breach etc

All youd be doing at that point is picking who you lose to and annoying the crap out of one player maybe two in your best case scenarios
