This is a strictly UB variant of the Esper Teachings list that sometimes floats around modern. It is extremely heavy control, and, as a toolbox deck it is extremely flexible. However, it is massively difficult to play. The primary win condition for the deck is Nephalia Drownyard which, as you probably know, is not exactly a modern staple. Unfortunately there are two extremely poor matchups for this deck in Burn and Tron, but I believe that the deck is good enough to show some potential. I would appreciate help tweaking this closer towards tournament status, so if you have any input please post in the comments.
