My Esper Mill deck. Lots of fun, frustrating, and still a work in progress.

Irritatingly, I have to use the king W/U stratagy (I actively try not to net-deck): Snapcaster Mage+ Restoration Angel. To my own credit, I was using Augur of Bolas before I watched the Gatecrash Pro-tour. If you haven't, I recommend looking at Ben Stark's Esper deck; inspiring stuff.

Um, (assumed) FAQ:

Why not 4x Sphinx's Revelation? They're fucking expensive and I haven't seen another for trade.

Why Merciless Eviction? I only have 1x Planar Cleansing ... And this way, I can save my Planeswalkers. I want this for those Planeswalker-control/enchantment decks, plus its another boardwipe.
