This is my take on an Esper Dragon Control. I have tweaked it many times trying to get everything I need in. I do not have the money to currently buy this deck so I'm trying to get suggestions on what to change before I buy it. I have test ran it against people online, but I don't know how good the competition is. If you have any suggestions please feel free to comment and let me know.

The win condition for this deck is of course getting the Dragons through to the opponent. Having Dragonlord Ojutai + Silumgar, the Drifting Death is nice because they are hexproof.

I decided to run Dark Petition instead of Dig Through Time because I can look for any card in the library instead of hoping it is in the top 7 cards. These cards also don't have very much synergy running together so I don't see a way I can put both of them in.

Stubborn Denial is a very good counterspell to me just because it can be used to counter early strategies along with Thoughtseize. I Thought about Dissperse instead but haven't gotten a chance to really try it out. Silumgar's Scorn will almost always be a counter spell with the Dragons.

This seems like a pretty standard Esper Control deck for the current metagame. If there are any suggestions please don't hesitate to comment. Thank you.
