Standard Deck Help forum

Hey everybody! If you recognize my name from years ago then extra hey!

Working on finalizing an Esper Control list for Standard. Being played exclusively on MTG: Arena. Definitely check it out and give me your thoughts.

Primarily looking to get an effective sideboard, but if you have any suggestions for the mainboard, feel free to share.

Thanks bud. I remember you as well.

MTGA has given me a new consistent release to fill my MTG appetite. Looking forward to what great ideas we can generate here at the Tappedout community.

Made some edits to the deck for any of those monitoring. Filled out more of the sideboard. Switched Nezahal, Primal Tide for Chromium, the Mutable cause Flash is nice in control. Especially the mirror. While I enjoyed Nezahal and while it did pull me out of some control matchups, tapping 7 on my turn also felt super bad and also lost me some games. I'll miss holding an absurd amount of cards in my hand in Arena though.

Added some more cards to my Maybeboard after watching Jonathan Rossum's interview and victory against Mono Aggro at SCG Columbus just a while ago.

I found his use of Vona, Butcher of Magan in the side very interesting, and also the fact that all his life gain was single target removal based. Cards such as Moment of Craving, which I'm not currently running, and of course the Invoke the Divine, which I keep two of side.

I'm surprised he wasn't making any use of Sanguine Sacrament. The card seems built just for control. Like an arguably weaker Sphinx's Revelation. I think that's something I have to help make my deck more consistent in a variety of situations.

Anyway, I'm enjoying watching the deck evolve. Please continue to check in on it and share your feedback.

Thanks again Tappedout.
