This is an Esper Gifts deck I'm thinking about building. The basic strategy is to just control your opponent with cheap counters and mass removal. I am considering adding deathrite shaman for some more speed to the deck, and the Geists in the sideboard are to deal with decks that have too fast of a clock to be handled by just the snapcaster bodies. On the end of turn four, I will gifts either elesh or iona into the graveyard--possibly both if I draw an unburial rites, then on turn five hilarity ensues.

Because of the prevalence of graveyard hate in modern I plan on sideboarding in the Geists for game two, if the hate is extreme I can board out the whole reanimate package for geists and liliana, though this wouldn't be ideal it could really through heavily sideboarded decks for a loop.
