Okay, to start off I chose to make an Esper Control deck for a few reasons. 1) It is a fun deck to play and is still good. 2) Has various builds to it. 3) it can go up against any deck and have a chance of winning.

So with that being said, what do the colors provide you ask, well i'm glad you asked.

Black- removal and ashiok. while those are the only two things I use it for, it makes the deck that much better.

blue- counters, draw, lifegain, jace, aetherling, board wipe, and cycling. this helps us pick away at how we want the game to work.

White- draw, lifegain, creature stall, board wipe, and cycling. This just helps out with what blue is trying to do.
