How exactly does this work against exalted decks?

This is directed towards Mr.kiseki;
When was Magic ever a strategy game? You start the game off by randomly pulling seven cards from your deck and decide whether or not to roll with it. The rest of the game is decided upon single random draws. You must be playing an entirely different sort of Magic if you think you're applying strategy. I guess you hate Fog and Holy Day as well, and yet I get the feeling you're contradicting yourself when you say you're okay with counterspells. How do you beat a counter deck? You keep playing spells. How do you get around this? Attack.
" Does a good player see three untapped islands and think 'I'm going to play some goblins, and throw my dragon in as well even though the dragon will most likely get countered?'"

I am very picky, and I have low regard for most of the cards in existence. However, there are a few cards that rise head and shoulders above the rest for cards that I loathe. All of the "target player sacrifices an attacking creature" cards are on that list.
These aren't answer cards, these aren't strategic cards. They are crazy lame cards that make you second guess attacking with only your best creature EVERY attack of EVERY game. They don't have much power, really, as far as removal goes, but occasionally they gank the attacking player in spectacular fashion.
I am not disappointed by counterspells, direct removal, or having my combos spoiled, but this mechanic irks me. They reprint it just often enough that I can't forget it, but you can't play intelligently around this card. Does a good player see three untapped plains and think "I'm going to attack with my dragon, and throw my goblins in as well even though most won't survive just to protect my dragon"? No, because if they did that... (see all)

Unfortunately, players typically don't play spells until their 2nd main phase.

People must've learned not to play precombat spells really fast when this was in standard.

This saw a lot of tournament play, mostly because it is so good against Goblin Warchief (or anything with haste).

Big money is in magic, why aren't you winning some?

"Oh, you're attacking me with Emrakul, the Aeons Torn? I'm so sorry..."
Too bad it'll trigger Annihilator anyway, but the non-targeting is a sweet deal.
