This is an Esper Control deck built around the Gifts Ungiven reanimator package. Gifts is worded in a way that lets you choose less than four cards for the pile, which means you can use it like a Buried Alive for any two cards in your deck. Enter this deck's main win condition: you search for Unburial Rites and a big creature such as Serra's Emissary with Gifts, then flashback Rites to reanimate that creature and win the game from there.

The rest of the deck is filled with removal, counterspells, and card draw. Since Gifts is an instant speed spell, you can afford to play reactively and pick the most opportune time to go for the big baddie finisher.

Upgrades: Unmarked Grave, Archon of Cruelty, Consider, Fatal Push, Prismatic Ending, Counterspell, lands
