Title: Post rotation Esper control, attempt?
Post by: Hunteroffire9 on July 11, 2014, 11:26:44 AM
Post rotation control attempt


2-3 Elsbeth
2-3 Liliana
0-1 jase the living guild pack
0-2 Ashiok

3-4 {jaces ingenuity}
4 {dissolve}
4 {banishing light}
4 {thought seize}
3 {heroes downfall}
2 {divination}
1 {last breath}
1 {fated retribution}

So, what we have is not terrible. This deck can defiantly survive with a good board wipe, better removal p, etc. the land base is defiantly possible with scry lands, evolving wilds, pains, and the lands yet to come. 

Please comment what to change or what you think.

The new {Disperse} for one mana thing? Just incase something sneaks onto the board. Other than that it needs a sweeper and {In Garuuk's Wake} is a bit expensive.

Tbh as of now I feel like Bant is the way to go for control.

You have little sweepers is any colors so to stay alive in creature matchups just play bigger creatures.

In Bant you get creatures like:

{Courser of Kruphix}
{Fleecemane Lion}
{Sylvan Carrot}
{Prophet of Kruphix}

As well as spells like {Kiora the Crashing Wave} while still running the UW she'll for Elspeth Fated and O Ring

I feel like America will be the way to go. Burn for spot removal, counterspells, Wraths ({Aetherspouts}, {Fated Retribution}, {Anger of the Gods}), draw ({Steam Augury}, {Jace's Ingenuity}, {Divination}). I feel it would tear apart a Bant deck. Of course Esper does have all of the things it needs too, losing {Anger of the Gods} and {Steam Augury}, but adding {Hero's Downfall} and {Extinguish All Hope}.
