This is my esper control deck that I has gone through lots of rigorous tweaking, but I think it is pretty much right where I want it to be now. The deck is very efficient and powerful, but I am happy with any suggestions. Generally, with this deck you want to let the game pull along for a long time until you have a very solid lockdown and a win condition. Any feedback is welcome and I hope this gives some help to any and all control players out there.
