So mostly the same old esper control. But I've been trying these enchantments in lieu of kill and counter spells and I've noticed that it puts a decent damper in graveyard shenanigans and still pretty much 1 for 1s against sultai and abzan.

Aggro is a bit more difficult. =P

There's a good bit of enchantment hate in the meta with Dromoka's command and stuff but I haven't seen enough to kill my plan yet.

I can understand anyone who dislikes it but I'd say give it a shot and make tweaks as you think necessary.

Main and sideboard help/suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks.
