A fairly standard BW control deck i think,

lots of removal, a smattering of card draw, some powerful walkers (Liliana out for cost at the moment)

topped with the gearhulks, both seem to have powerful ETB effects to clear the way for them to finish things off.

Kalitas and Gisela just seem powerful mid-late game creatures (and Giselas life link might be handy to offset anguished unmaking and Succumb to temptation damage)

my main questions here are:would this benefit from going esper, Esper Gearhulks adding counterspells and card draw, plus the third gear hulk, at the expense of some removal, Gislea and Kalitas

when running it through the play tester I seem to have a lot of tapped lands?
