This is a rework of my current standard UB control deck, here http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/31-01-15-frf-ub-control/

Esper offers things that UB just simply can't in the forms of versatility.Mainly being, a complete board wipe going into DTK where dragons are everywhere, and Crux of Fate is limitted / 1 sided, the 1 side wipe is why we keep one.If we have our Dragonlord Ojutai out, we don't wanna End Hositilies

The deck is still a work in progress, but its getting there slowly.I thought about removing Thoughtseize and Despise , but you just hit so many targets with it against midrange/aggro it really helps keep you alive.No sorin/ashiok in the list, I feel sorin takes too long to get online and is very easily killed if you -2 him for a creature.and 4 mana for a 2/2 zombie isn't that good if it gets wildslashed

Suggestions would be appreciated!
