Standard Esper Control deck based on the top-8 ones from mid-late November's bigger tournaments. Planning on playtesting it and making substitutions to suit my preferences.

I know the random Bloodstained Mire seems out of place, but if you take a look at the outer/cost ring of my mana curve, you'll see mostly (8 fetches), followed by (5 fetches), and finally the smallest section, (4 fetches). It just puts the fetches into a better proportion.

I happen to have 2 each of Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, and Ob Nixilis Reignited, if anyone wants to make an argument for one of them instead of the Silumgar, the Drifting Deaths. It's 2 fewer cards triggering Silumgar's Scorn. But they all have such upside. Ob is better for control than Gideon, so probably fits better than him, but he's so powerful in so many decks that he's gotta be worth consideration.

I'm horrible at making decisions, so the more input the better! Thanks for any & all comments, compliments, and suggestions!
