I just, I play something good, they counter it, I have something good going, they kill it, how do you beat control. My meta (Area meta, multiple LGS's) is so freaking heavy in control, I can't side for the control match, I have to main deck for the control match if I want results, How do I beat Control.
I'm an aggro player, and I'm pretty good. Against any other aggro deck I destroy them, but control, sometimes I get a good hit in and win, but control is so hard to play against. I mean, how do you find the right cards to play when they literally say "No you can't play that" and I don't want to play nothing but control mirrors. I always include indestructible and hex proof trick spells in my deck to try and help me, but it's just not enough. I'm getting to the point where I want to build around the goal of being able to beat control, I just need some tips before I try to brew something up.
If you always beat other aggro decks you may not actually be playing an aggro deck which is why you are losing so hard to control. This makes me really question your definition of decks. A quick look at good decks shows control struggling to put up numbers. If by control you mean any deck that intends on interacting with you in a negative way then I can see where you're coming from. The traditional control deck for the meta has evolved into a tempo deck that runs controlling cards but closes the game out brutally fast because of its strong cheap threats. If you're asking how to beat the Esper Hero matchup then that's fairly hard because it's not control. Its a highly flexible tempo deck that doesn't actually have bad matchups meaning it's down to a combination of luck and skill. If there was a control deck then you could reasonably beat it by playing aggro.
That's all talking about standard. As for modern play any of the brutally fast combo decks that laugh as control tries to keep up. Or really any viable deck in modern, control is really bad in modern.
As the guy above said, speed. If you want a good example, Legacy Goblins tears ass against control because you're dropping threats faster than they can be countered.
