This is a control deck for esper colors. Same playstyle for control like normal, use Cryptic Command, Mana Leak, Spell Pierce and Remand to control the enemy board state, but you can opt to play aggressively with Lingering Souls as well.

Just be annoying in general!

Use Snapcaster Mage to make your graveyard your hand with a choice of premium counterspells, or, worst case scenario as a flashed in blocker.

Hand disruption can also be key to game matchups. Either Inquisition of Kozilek or Thoughtsieze get in the way of combos, and if you need extra, maybe try a few Vendilion Clique as a body with hand disruption. You can try throwing in a Lilliana of the Viel, but i dont want to deal with that lol.

Good luck in FNM, if there are any extra hints, tips, or advice for the deck please comment c:

Thanks All!
