I'm currently laddering with this Bo1 on MTGA which is quite fun and works better than i could hope. I have seen a few WUG approaches but my heart beats for esper ;-) Would be happy about suggestions!

Maininteraction: Put down Prototype of your beloved arctifact creatures. Flicker or return them from the graveyard to the battlefield to get their actual "polished" version (hopefully on turn 4).

Weaknesses: In some constellations draws are inoptimal. Aggro match-ups are often very tough - especially against Mono Red since "Kumano Faces Kakkazan" could break your combo by exiling your dying creatures.

To the list itself:

Phyrexian Fleshgorger and Steel Seraph both provide lifelink (which comes in handy against the weaker aggro matchups) and on top of that evation. Companion + Combat Thresher provide carddraw - often mutliple times. Since all permanents are eather entchantments or artifacts Brilliant Restoration is quite often able to make the diffenrence in longer more grindy matchups.

Absolute powerhouse is Touch the Spirit Realm since it does everything you want to do with this deck - (uncounterable instant) flickering and removal on a returnable enchantment!

I see the most potential in a adapting the rest of the toolkit: 6 direct spotremovals, 8 (+flashback+TtSR = 16) flickering/returning options.

It's feels quite rewarding to flicker/return Gorger after seeing your oponents paying for it's warding cost only to be confronted with a even bigger threat.
