User blog comment:GaoMikadoFan 4/Counter-measures against DDW/@comment-25389903-20140925045826

I haven't done any actual testing but I'll happily share some of what I've theorycrafted with you.

The name of the game with DDW (or at least a build focused on Spectral Strike) is field control. A lot of their monsters have stats such that they'll probably just be taking out one or two monsters before dying themselves (and dealing damage with Spectral Strike when applicable) so I would suggest, in no particular order: Two or three copies of Flying/White Dragon Shield in your sideboard and/or main deck, more monsters with Soulguard, more monsters with high stats for their size, and four copies of Dragoenergy, no exceptions on that last one. Basically, the less monsters of yours that die, the better.
