Quick build that is actually testing really well. I built it to test other decks against and it is not an easy match up for most any deck.

I like it. I've long considered turning my Esper deck into a {R}{U}{W}. Why saving grasp instead of {Unsummon}? They both do the same thing, but Unsummon can play offense too.

Grasp is strickly better for what I want to do. It can be used twice and more importantly it can be used if I thought scour it. Last night I used a single snapcaster and gave flashback to 5 spells cause of that card.

Drop pillar or spear in mainboard for think twice?

That's a meta call, we have a lot of aggro here. Rakdos and selesnya aggro are staples at our fnm and there are a few RDW, one of which I helped tweak and now goes 5-0 or 4-1 every week. Think twice is great and I want it in here, but i cant afford the space for it in that meta, besides spear to the face is always a fun way to end it when they think they have a chance.
