Title: I need help with Esper! :(
Post by: Saulon on June 06, 2015, 05:29:45 PM
So, I need some advice for an Esper Control deck, I don't have a list yet but I tried with cards like  {Thoughtseize}  {Lingering Souls}  {Dissolve}  {Mana Leak} which are basically staples. I run 4 copies of each. Do you think that cards like  {Geist of Saint Traft} and  {Azorius Charm} can fit? If you have any suggestions just help, I'm not a really good mtg player.

I'm not a fan of geist in non red decks because he's only really good when you can clear the way for him. In an esper deck you don't have electrolyze, bolt, and helix the way UWR midrange does to make a path for him so I'm not a fan. Charm seems okay, I'm not a huge fan though.

I'm over here in my own little UW tron gifts control combo ramp dreamland, but I know a guy who was testing Esper {monastery mentor}. He said he thinks grixis is better, but look into Esper mentor.
