Unholy Esperexian orgy.
This Esper deck is an experiment. I loved themed decks and this is Phyrexian-centered. I want to make it as nasty as I can (hopefully not at the expense of my friends). I've never really been a control person, but I want to give it a shot.
I want any help anyone has to offer, but please keep in mind:
1. This deck is artifact centered and I would like to keep it that way--hence, Phyrexia
2. I want to keep creatures low without eliminating them
3. Please be sure to take a look at my Maybe/Acquire boards before making suggestions--I may be working on it

Deck Stuff
Fetch
The transmute mechanic is so convenient; is a counter spell or a tutor what I need right now? One of my priorities is having complete control over my own board, while still having variety to avoid the repetition of true tribal.
Protection
I know with the Sen Triplets everyone is going to try their damnedest to get my commander off the board. Other cards like Memnarch and Linvala, Keeper of Silence won't make my opponents too happy either. Using cards like Memnarch, Indomitable Archangel, and Greater Auramancy (to name just a few) can make my board almost untouchable.
Sweeping
Enchanted Evening makes cards like Austere Command or Merciless Eviction really easy. Lots of possibilities here.
Sideboard
My sideboard is specifically for the people I normally play against. For example, Extinction is killer (literally) against token/tribal but obviously not so hot against other decks.

Win Conditions
- Commander is obvious to make opponents screw themselves; infinite possibilities
- Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood = 'nuff said
- Opponents get angry and concede
- Plenty of life drain/steal spells to siphon off life

Thanks for all your help!
