I think 4 {detention sphere}s might be a little overkill and I'm not crazy a out hace main board you need a lot of removal

{Appetite for Brains} and {Witchbane Orb} are the anti {Slaughter Games} plan. Appetite also hits thragtusk, primal hunter, olivia, hunmaster, staff of nin, against jund.
For the Esper Mirror {Witchbane Ord} comes in and maybe {Rest in Peace} too maybe. This will come down to counter-spells and nephalia downyards.
I just basically want to destroy every aggro and midrange deck in sight :-)

How has this been running? I see you're heavy on the mill plan, which can be good, though you should be careful in the mirror as most esper decks have {Psychic Spiral} in the sideboard. You do run more wraths than most, but with no creatures beyond spirit tokens what happens if your opponent has a lot of trample or {Slaughter Games} your souls? Since you do run {Lingering Souls}, it might be good to roll with {Sorin, Lord of Innustrad. He makes those tokens a win condition by himself.

Looks really good!

I also have being looking into
{Sorin, Lord of Innistrad} a lot. Between {Lingering Souls} and {Sorin, Lord of Innistrad} junk midrange cant touch you, unless they {Craterhoof Behemoth}

4 drownyards seem like too much colorless to me, maybe 3

Need to run {Obzedat, Ghost Council} as a one or two of.  I initially ran a similar control list with no creatures, but recently I put in 2 Obzedat and he wins an absurd amount of games

Agreed he's a boss. Really hard to get rid of. When I played against him in esper control my only answer was blind obedience

Thanks for all of your comments and all the different techs.
I agree with {Obzedat, Ghost Council}
Also the specter is an awsone idea ^^^
I like the esper color a lot and with all the midrange going around i think control has good chances.
