"Masters of the arcane savor a delicious irony. Their study of deep and complex arcana leads to such a simple end: the ability to say merely yes or no."
This is a trying on Esper Control on Pauper Standard. Still needs testing. I'm not experienced in deckbuilding so this may have lots of inconsistencies.
The main win-condition here is Scholar of Athreos . Assuming you survived the first turns, the plan is to have sufficient mana to kill/counter threats at instant speed and then use the remaining mana in your opponent's end of turn to activate Scholar of Athreos 's ability and gain some life.
As I said above, it still needs a lot of testing to see if this is viable at all!
Mainboard
- Cancel and Nullify are your counters.
- Typhoid Rats will help you not take 982574254 damage because deathtouch.
- Returned Phalanx will stall most of the early game critters and why not attack for 3 later on.
- Dragon's Eye Sentry kills almost all deathtouchs in the format.
- Anticipate will dig that missing land (or counter or removal) you want.
- Flatten , Kill Shot , Pillar of Light and Whisk Away : removal stuff.
- Voyage's End has some "synergy" with your counters and can also save your creatures from death.
- Weave Fate will guarantee you'll have something to play.
- Scholar of Athreos is the win-con itself plus a big butt.
