A standard Esper control deck for Kaladesh Standard utilizing Brain in a Jar to reduce the cost of the more expensive spells. I wanted to play with some of the new cards like Insidious Will and Metallurgic Summonings while using some old favorites like Sorin, Grim Nemesis and To the Slaughter.

Drop Brain in a Jar early game whenever possible. Possible uses:

Transgress the Mind on you opponent's draw step for maximum hurt.

Insidious Will + Remorseless Punishment (5/6 mana to twincast the punishment for potential win condition).

Possible Win conditions include:

Sorin, Grim Nemesis (Either tick up or Ult)

Ob Nixilis Reignited (Harder, you need to wait out your opponent)

Metallurgic Summonings (Go wide with Constructs, bring back Remoreseless Punishment)

Remorseless Punishment (Clean out your opponent's hand and field, Insidious Will to copy for lethal)
