After playing jeskai control at my local fmn I wanted to try playing a diffrent control deck by switch my deck from Jeskai to Esper. What the deck tries to do is control and there is a few questionable cards in here for a control deck which I will explain below. One of the questionable cards for a control deck is Lingering Souls because it's not considered a control card but, I think Lingering Souls is great in the deck because other control decks can't deal with it very well. Jace the Mind Sculptor is also questionable in some cases because most control decks would rather have a fourth cryptic command. I would just rather have jace as another win con and he is hard to deal with when he resolves. Also Tasigur is questionable in a control deck but I think he is a great threat that can close out games and can get back cards from the graveyard when you have nothing to do after leaving mana up to counter something on your opponents turn. Now to the sideboard I have fragmitize in for Bloodmoon although it cab hit something else I just don't like having to depend on esper charm to take care of Bloodmoon when you need all three colors to cast it. Celestial Purge is in the board for liliana of the veil or just some annoying creatures you don't wanna deal with. Elspeth Sun's Champion is for the heavy creature match up's and can just finish a game by plusing. Vendillion Clique and thoughtize is for combo matchs Dampining Sphere is for tron and, storm and stony silence is for affinity. Any feedback for the deck would be appricated!
