With a 7 mana hullbreaker, if your opponent has removal your win con fizzles

Yeah this is true. When I originally said that I was thinking of a control mirror, since I didn't think Horror would beat Epiphany in a direct matchup during spoiler season (it does seem to). The Horror can be hit with like Power Word Kill, etc, though you can also protect it by waiting until turn 8 and playing it with any 1 mana instant up.

I do think this is sort of what the meta needs though--something that can tackle Epiphany head-to-head which is also at least in theory easier than the rest of the field to interact with.

If they untap with the Horror in play though there's a good chance you aren't getting to play the game at all anymore though unless it's literally the only card in their hand or you already have an overwhelming board state where they can't bounce everything.

Edit: All this said, if I play in an event this weekend I'm still probably going to take mono-white, for the record.
