Looking for feedback
Wondering if I should try running more counters and less removal.....hmmmmAnd if so should I play 2cmc counters like Negate and
Nullify
or the 3cmc ones Dissolve,
Psychic Strike
and Cancel? Decisions, decisions.....
This is an Esper Control deck that I have put together after losing to many such decks. It will be a work in progress, ever changing. I would appreciate any feedback.
So, I have Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver as an early mill/creature producer providing I can keep him alive long enough to start using his -X ability.
Jace, Memory Adept is also a great addition for some later milling, if I have decided to win via mill at that point, or just a good draw option.
Also if you can combine both Ashiok's and Jace's ultimate abilities together in the same turn it's just flat out hilarious.
I also Have Elspeth, Sun's Champion Which is a great addition to the deck for the 3 blockers she drops every turn. Or she can be used as a quick board clear against green devotion decks with large creatures that manage to get past either my counters or removals. She is also a win con all by herself if I manage to keep my opponents battlefield clear until I can use her ultimate ability to make all the soldiers she's been dropping 3/3 flyers.
I have
Devour Flesh
, Far / Away, Hero's Downfall,
Supreme Verdict
,
Detention Sphere
and Cyclonic Rift for removal.
AEtherling is a great win con or just a great blocker.
Consuming Aberration is a good late game creature to drop onto the battlefield.
I have
Psychic Strike
and Dissolve as counters and as an added bonus
Psychic Strike
mills 2 cards
I have Sphinx's Revelation as both life gain and drawing power. This card has saved my ass more times than I can count. so the $30 price tag is well worth it for this deck.
Oh, and I almost forgot....Last but not least I threw in a Thassa, God of the Sea for the scy ability which always comes in handy as well as another win con, making my creatures unblockable, if I can either pit my opponents creatures against them with Ashiok or put Consuming Aberration into the battlefield with a lot of cards in my opponents graveyard.
