esper control, help with the meta game now and the future
Deck Help forum
Posted on April 29, 2012, 3:19 a.m. by slevin
Hi I have created an esper control deck for fnm and possibly for more serious events. What I want help on is where do you think the Meta game is at present as well as where do you think it is going in the foreseeable future.
Is deliver the only the deck that will solidify, or is the deck that you can see strengthening with avacyn restored?
At the moment my match ups with deliver are 50/50 at best, wolf run I haven't had many problems with but I must admit I have only played 1 or 2 games against it.
Any suggestions on what you think of esper and or where the Meta game is going would be greatly appreciated.
I see what you're saying, I agree with the red making somewhat of a comeback, I do think that I may be able to deal with such, this is my deck you wont like me :-)
Unfortunately at my fnm I very rarely play true tier 1 decks, one or 2 delver, possibly a wolf run and then rogue decks and weak token/ww decks, so esper cleans up quite nicely.
I think ever will continue to be a rash as well.
Thanks for your thoughts

Red aggro might have a chance to make a comeback if somebody works it properly, but it's lacking the real power of K-Red in terms of rapid board development and support.
U/R is a more stable alternative that could develop a strong presence with might see play in such a build.
I don't see Delver decks going away.
Frites gets a lot of new toys to reanimate.
My friend plays esper control and it seems to have been doing well so far. His deck can be found here: deck:what-is-this-5
It consistently takes first/second in one of our local stores, but the meta there is not exactly super competitive.
