a lil background:

Basically wanted to do the Wasteland Strangler Tidehollow Sculler combo in a more blinky shell for recursion. Of course then you also gotta get spell queller and lil teferi in on the fun, becuase nothing feels better than hard-countering for one mana with ephemerate.

This is a similar deck that performed well, and was my jumping off point: https://mtgdecks.net/Modern/esper-ephemerate-decklist-by-visitor636-1062908

The main upgrade path i envision for this deck is to an 80 card yorion build with the stoneforge package (we are currently far from this budget wise lol). Seems to make sense as there is already quite a bit of crossover with the UW Yorion taxes builds?

Coffee & mtg questions for Nikachu: Is this a (semi) viable upgrade path? Delay in this or 80 card version? What to cut if so? In either build could the mana base support the ghost quarter or eldrazi synergies?

I know this is not a tier build but I just wanted to design a deck built around synergies that I like, and get it as close to fnm viable as I can. This is definitely an undertaking for someone of my skill level (fairly new to modern), so any and all feedback is appreciated :).
