Sideboard


Esper Exile Everything!

This is a control deck that focuses on exiling everything the opponent plays. It packs Absorb to counter things that can't be dealt with elsewise, Ixalan's Binding to lock down problems, plenty of creature removal, and exile-generating planeswalkers to win the game.

Kaya, Orzhov Usurper and Ashiok, Nightmare Muse are the primary win conditions with Ashiok, Dream Render and Dawn of Hope providing secondary win conditions. Kaya and A5hiok can generate wins off the cards you exile, Kaya by draining the opponent for more than their life total and Ashiok by playing their own win conditions from exile. A3hiok tosses a lot of stuff into exile, giving Kaya large card counts and A5hiok stuff to hit with the ultimate.

Supporting that is a suite of removal that can hit anything, and that's generally the deck's game plan. If they play it, kill it. If it's something that's hard to kill, counter it with Absorb. Gain some life and get way out of range of anything that can kill you.

The sideboard carries more counter magic in case it becomes necessary, as well as a few cards that defeat some enemy strategies. Lavinia, Azorius Renegade shuts down decks that ramp with creatures or cast things without paying their mana costs. Jace, Wielder of Mysteries shuts down enemy mill strategies. Nezahal, Primal Tide stops counter magic. Narset, Parter of Veils stops Brainstorm shenaningans.
