I have always loved control decks and feared more than 2 colours doing so. This is a Dimir take on the Esper control deck. I have preformed well on MTGO with a version of it so far. Having no mass removal seems to be its main weakness which is why I'm toying with Cyclonic Rift. It has a lot of answers to a lot of decks, in my match ups I found I beat slow decks game 1 but lose to the fast paced ones without a strong hand. After boarding that changes and I usually make a come back. Mono-Red seems to be my weakest match up.Regards the board I use Aetherling in slow match ups where I can hold control. Crypt Incursion is for graveyard tricks and a bit of a counter to Chandra's Phoenix, not vital but good back up and lifegain. Devour flesh is additional removal against quicker decks or non-targeted for hexproof annoyances. Duress is for the mirror or other control decks, essence scatter again to slow the fast paced decks down. Ratchet bomb vs tokens and aggro. Can help in control against detention spheres too. Liliana is a tricky one, I initially had her to go with Mind Grind but when I removed that card I kept her around. I usually put her in slow matchups to keep up on land, I never use on her against aggro. Erebos is decent card draw and has a chance to reach devotion trigger. However he is mainly there for the mono black match, stopping the lifelink on his whip and making the gray merchants a little weaker.
