Ok everyone knows Esper Control.

Ever since Ivan Floch won the 2015 pro tour I have been set on making an azorious deck. However, I've always been a fan of cards like Ob Nixilis Reignited, Foul-Tongue Invocation, and Murderous Cut. So, I decided to make and Esper Control Deck.

Dragons and creature lands have always been the best finishers in decks like these in my opinion.

1. The early game will mostly consist of Despise and Duress, building your mana with fetch lands like Flooded Strand and Polluted Delta to fetch dual lands like Sunken Hollow and Prairie Stream. Using countering cards Silumgar's Scorn and Foul-Tongue Invocation.

2. With all these cards going into the graveyard there are cards like Dig Through Time to dig for more removal or any other card needed and Murderous Cut to kill any creature for one mana.

3. Ojutai's Command has already proven in BFZ that it's a very very good card capable of saving you and drawing you that extra card you need.

4. I put key board wipe cards like Crux of Fate, but i was very hesitant to put Planar Outburst and Languish because of fear of killing my finishers, but I put them in just in case

5. I am really unsure on what planeswalkers i'm going to put in this deck, for I'm not sure if they are really needed. (No, I'm not gonna get card:Jace, verdyn's prodigy) I'm between 1 more Ob Nixilis Reignited or taking him out for 2 Ugin, the Spirit Dragon

6. I really want to use Scatter to the Winds, Ruinous Path, and Stasis Snare but when making the deck I could not find space for them. What should I replace for them?

Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated. If you liked please plus 1!!
