Just looking to get a little feedback on my modern Esper deck.
Esper Beatdown Playtest
Modern
SCORE: 1 | 0 COMMENTS | 34 VIEWSI'm a little new to the format but so far I'm loving it way more than Standard at the moment. Any suggestions or critiques are more than welcome. Thanks :)

Slycne,Thanks for the advice. Dismember is definitely something to consider as is Remand . I'll give it some thought :)

I like it. A few suggestions to think about -
I would consider splitting 2 of the Go for the Throat for 2 Dismember . Having the option of another 1 mana removal spell is worth it, and it doesn't hurt to have 2 less dead cards against one of the most popular decks in the format.
Mana Leak could be swapped out for Remand . You are a bit of a tempo-y deck, where the card draw could be more relevant than sending it to the graveyard. Something to play around with.
Sideboards are always a bit of an art form especially in modern, and it will depend a lot on your local meta. I think the Surgical Extraction and Zealous Persecution are on the weaker end of what you can be doing bringing in. I think you're better off attacking combo with hand disruption like Thoughtseize instead of Surgical Extraction , not all of them use the graveyard. Zealous Persecution isn't bad per say, but there are other cards that I think could take this slot that can be useful in a wider variety of match-ups. Maybe something like Aven Mindcensor , Torpor Orb or Spellskite .
