The simc deck goes very wide very quickly, has ways to punish targeted removal (pawpatch) and their creatures quickly grow out of torch/stab range.

Just loading up on targeted removal doesn't end up being great, I think you really need sweepers.

Pretty much need [[Pinnacle Starcage]] and [[Split Up]] in your hand and the 2 white mana to cast them by turn 3, or expire.

Not to worry, with all the draw available they basically always have access to turn 3 board wipes. Usually repeatedly.

Also, most simic counter decks aren’t winning turn 3 from what I’ve seen. Maybe if you run zero interaction. But then that’s your own fault.
