Draw Go Control Finisher
Modern Deck Help forum
Posted on July 4, 2015, 10:24 p.m. by nashbridges52
I'm wanting to make an Esper Control deck for Modern that's a draw-go style deck filled with instants and flash creatures, but I'm looking for a good finisher.
My current candidates are White Sun's Zenith and Empty the Pits. The instant speed is the key to both spells here, in a draw-go style deck I want to be able to small my finisher end of turn after my opponent taps out.
Let me know if you have any other suggestions for other finishers or the deck in general. Thanks.
In Esper, I really like Mystical Teachings as a 1-of. It lets you tutor for your finishers but it can also tutor things like Path to Exile if you need to.

Resto is still the go-to. That girl does work for me. If you want something more high-impact, you can always go batterskull or something.

Resto is a good call, can't believe I forgot that. SirFowler, I do have a list on here but I didn't think I was supposed to post decklists in this forum... but since you asked (Sorry moderators if this is out of line): Modern WUB step

Well, since this is the modern deck help forum, you are allowed post deck lists for others to help you.
The regular Modern forum however is just for modern in general, not for deck lists.

Batterskull isn't what you want as a finisher these days; too many decks play maindeck Kolaghan's Command to make playing it worthwhile.
You honestly don't need much else besides Tasigur, the Golden Fang, Gurmag Angler, Snapcaster Mage, Creeping Tar Pit, and maybe Geist of Saint Traft.

Dragonlord Ojutai, Baneslayer Angel and Pearl Lake Ancient are all good finisher.

You could try a Gifts Ungiven package with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, Iona, Shield of Emeria, and Unburial Rites. Or something like Celestial Colonnade or Myth Realized.

I've had good experiences with Tasigur, the Golden Fang.

Blood Baron of Vizkopa is pretty sweet for esper control. AEtherling might be ok also, although Tasigur, the Golden Fang and Gurmag Angler should suffice.

Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir allows you to flash in Sunblast Angel and other fun goodies, and is excellent in combination with Mystical Teachings because Teferi gives all your creatures in your library flash, allowing them to be tutored.

Do you have a decklist together that we could check out?
