Addressing Creature Stalling with Ensnaring Bridge
Ensnaring Bridge excels at hindering creature movement, but it can also obstruct your own attacks. To overcome this, consider running [[Altar of the Brood]] or [[Phyrexian Altar]] to sacrifice tokens or creatures for mana, allowing you to cast spells and activate abilities to control the battlefield.
Countering Mass Removal
Ensnaring Bridge’s effectiveness can be diminished by mass removal spells. Include cards like [[Mythos of Spring]] or [[Counterspell]] to thwart removal attempts. Additionally, cards like [[Privileged Position]] or [[Leyline of Sanctity]] can provide protection from targeted removal or board wipes.
Overcoming Mana Challenges
Ensnaring Bridge is a colorless card, which can be demanding on your mana base. Include enough mana sources and utility lands that produce colorless mana, such as [[Ancient Tomb]] or [[City of Traitors]]. Alternatively, cards like [[Sol Ring]] or [[Mox Diamond]] can provide a quick burst of colorless mana to cast the bridge early.
