This idea has been rumbling around in my head since Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver, Daxos of Meletis and Thoughtsieze were spoiled.

The deck's goal is to be threat light in and of itself, but have the ability to force the opponent to 'solve' against their own deck by stealing their creatures and spells and throwing them back at them.

If worse comes to worse, the deck can side back into a traditional esper control build and then play a regular "Kill and Counter" game from there.
