My take on modern Esper control. Not playing America because I've never liked the idea of splashing a color for 3 cards.

Good cards and why I'm not running them:

Geist of Saint Traft- Doesn't really fit with the other cards in the deck, honestly I'm pretty sure that currently he's not all that great in modern.

Restoration Angel - No creature other then wall of omens to bounce.

Cryptic Command - Triple blue is hard, and we can do the same effects more efficiently.

Liliana of the Veil - Much better in midrange, where discarding a card won't lose you the game.

Think Twice - Trying to keep the deck 60 cards here folks, mediocre card draw that's only good when you commit to it didn't make the cut.
