Mew EX also needed a single Energy to retreat, which wasnt too bad
On that note, let's check out a few of our mixed removal spells: $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 Having access to powerful removal spells like Flame Slash, Devour Flesh, and Terminate on top of spells like Lightning Bolt, Exclude, and Electrickery makes Grixis Control extremely versatile and capable of dealing with just about any type of creature based strategy
Note that to actually use the interruptions enabled by this combo you must have a monster in your face-up ED and cards with Spell Counters to return to the hand, so you have to decide from situation to situation whether you benefit from this combo
Because damage remains marked on creatures until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a creature you control may become lethal if that creature becomes untapped or if Adept Watershaper leaves the battlefield during that turn
And if you keep removing the lore counters you get to keep your saga creature around for blocking or attacking
