So far everything is working well except against my friend's Stoneblade variant. So far i'm at maybe 20% win ratio only.
It seems he can take control of the game so easily once he's cast DTT and found his outs.
I'll try to destroy his yard a little more next time and see if it helps but so far I don't feel I'm any challenge to his deck.
Since you basically have problem with mid/late game DTT, i would advise you that you play both gaddock teegs after bord.
Protect him the best you can (mother, sylvan safekeeper,...).
You could also try to tweak you sideboard.
For example: If he is searching for TNN and equipment, you could try to play cards like stony silence, which will also be useful against stoneblade decks.
This card could hurt you too, so be careful to judge properly is it beneficial enough.
I'd lean on Pridemage to deal with equipment, and Teeg to shut down DTT. Possibly board in some Thoughtseize to deal with things like Supreme Verdict or as a catch all before it hits the board.

I might have been overreacting since our last gaming session. Tonight I proceeded to destroy my friend's deck on multiple occasions. I guess it's a matter of playing well and not being unlucky on the draw.
The matchup feels more like a 50/50 to me now!
