Decided to build a creature heavy esper control after trying to find something new to build. Magister Sphinx is the main wincon of this deck. Although having 4 Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite is never a bad strategy.

I find this deck being very controlling all the way through while always having the best thing on the battlefield.

I made the conscious decision not to run Smothering Tithe because I'm not trying to go all out with this deck but I feel like it will eventually make its way in. However Clever Impersonator looks a lot like Smothering Tithe to me lol.
