Thassa, the God of wins in mtg

I want to trash a magic card. The card I am going to pick on is Thassa. I have seen player after player lose to that card on camera. The funny part is they didn't have to. Instead of thoughtsieze played on Thassa its used on a lesser creature. One player killed about 10 creatures, then lost to Thassa. Counterspell it, detention sphere it, just get it off the table or lose, your choice.
