Help me with Esper Control

So I built Esper Control, and it kinda doesn’t get there. What did I do wrong with this build?
My LGS has no real meta. Most guys build something new everything week. I do consistently see RDW, Heroic, and UW Control.
Grubbernaut, thanks. I can go in on most of that, but I just don’t have Thoughtseize .

Collective Brutality could fill the other slots, potentially. I think mainboard Duress is pretty bad, so I'd avoid that.
Also - with no Fabled Passage , I think less basics makes sense.

Too many 1/2-ofs.
I think you want 6 discard spells, mixing Thoughtseize and Thought Erasure . You also definitely want 3-4 Fatal Push .
Drown in the Loch , Utter End , Render Silent and Murderous Cut seems like cards that are often pretty bad; I think you should either go all in on Absorb , or consider Sinister Sabotage or Void Shatter for easier color requirements.
Also - badly wants Narset, Parter of Veils , and some number of wraths.
Cheers!
