Modern esper control deck, i'm running way too many big spells to bother with 4 snapcasters, so i just play 2 to flashback some cantrips. The real MVP of the deck is the 4 esper charm, and the Sorins. Sorin is a personal tech card of mine, And he does what i want him to perfectly, Serving as both a removal spell and a possible finisher clock, He is one of my favorite cards for the deck. I'm sideboarding abzan advantages against any blood moon deck, Which gives me quite a bit of trouble. Utter End is an answer to everything except manlands, it's a bit steep at 4 though, but it works fine. Sideboarding Elspeth, sun's champions for any match-up that puts way too many big creatures on the board, and vendilion cliques against control mirrors and combo match-ups. Gatekeeper is in the sideboard for midrange decks mostly, but it serves a purpose against decks with a lot of indestructible creatures, or any deck that i just need some extra outs for.
