Esper Control

Instant (1)


A tappout style esper control deck, the obvious synergy is Liliana of the Veil and Lingering Souls. Jace, the Mind Sculptor works well with targeted discard because I can -1 him and then discard the card. Esper Charm is a versatile spell that is a huge draw to playing esper colors.

Win conditions include: Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Lingering Souls and Snapcaster Mage, Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, and Creeping Tar Pit.

I like being able to be a control deck, but also being able to throw lots of threats out.

Considering running Tasigur, the Golden Fang, but worried about opposing Jace, the Mind Sculptor -1 bouncing him. Seems that delve could be a worse mechanic now that Jace is back.

I run the Wrath of God because of Meddling Mage in the Humans deck.

Swapped out the Snapcaster Mages and one of the Search for Azcanta  Flips for 3 Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  Flip. Reasoning is that the instant speed of snapcaster doesn't matter as much without counterspells.
