An Esper deck that revolves around stealing cards directly from your opponent's library. Utilizing the abilities of Nightveil Specter, Daxos of Meletis, Lord of the Void and Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver, the goal of this deck is to take as many of your opponents' cards as you can, and to hopefully create an advantage. While this deck was mostly designed with shenanigans in mind, I've attempted to make it playable by giving it an additional strategy: Enchantments and Scry. These effects work wonderfully well with Battlewise Hoplite, who is one of the key creatures to the deck. He's got a lot of utility for the deck's 12 auras, and while you're not guaranteed that you'll get him out and enchanted right away, 1 or 2 buffs on him net you free scry 1 and a nice counter to pump him up. Omenspeaker is in because of the Scry 2, and having a 1/3 vanilla creature with scry 2 for 1U isn't bad. Scroll Thief is also a lot of fun, especially when you buff him with Aqueous Form because he nets you a free draw and scry with every ((unblockable!) attack. Additionally, Gift of Orzhova and Ethereal Armor are just excellent enchantments to keep around.

Let me know what you think, and help is appreciated though this is not my main deck or a priority by any means~
