An Esper Life (Help Needed)

Standard Control Lifegain WUB (Esper)

Ezekiel


Sideboard


This is an attempt at an Esper control deck. It hopes to deal with early threats long enough to stabilize the board and start hitting with creatures such as Drogskol Reaver , Geist of Saint Traft or Obzedat, Ghost Council .

Round 1: 1-2 against white humans splashing red for Boros Charmfoil. Game 1 I got crushed, and after sideboarding I managed to stabilize in game 2, getting the eventual win, but in game 3 I couldn't keep up.

Round 2: Went 2-0 against someone who hasn't played in a while using an intro pack. Didn't have problems winning this round.

Round 3: Went 0-2 against the RWU decks that have been showing up lately, with Boros Reckoner being a major problem for me. I almost had game 1, but got finished by burn. Game 2 I was completely overrun.

Round 4: Went either 1-2 against a five color deck, with Crypt Ghastfoil, Farseek, and Ranger's Path for ramping into things like Griselbrand. Thanks to a bit of mana flooding and my opponent running out of threats, I won game 1. Game 2, he managed to win. In game 3, he pulled off the Vizkopa Guildmage/Exquisite Blood combo and I lost.

Final thoughts: I had a bit of trouble getting a good opening hand, as I often had to mulligan. Not sure if it's a shuffling problem or a problem with my deck. Even with the amount of ways to deal with creatures, I had trouble with aggressive decks. Boros Reckoner was a MAJOR pain, and I need a way to deal with the RWU deck. Unburial Rites and Paraselene will be coming out of the sideboard. Really wish I had more Sphinx's Revelations.
