Deck Description

Who loves control...esper control?

We have an esper control deck to take back standard. With Cat Combo gone we need to reemurge as a competitor. We have an odd package right?

More than 4 creatures? Yes.
And sweet ones at that....Angels and Constructs and a god.

Our control package is a nice mixture of exile...kill and counter. We have a couple of super friends to join the party....Dovin Baan is a controller and a draw outlet. And even though he might die, if he doesnt....and emblems...we win hands down...so why not have the extra win con..besides big momma angels and constructs..

Sorin is helpful in extra draws and also helps us live by killing a creature and gaining us life at the same time. We are not looking at his emblem...but its nice if we get enough life and need to go wide...but the extra draw and life gain is sweet action..

Sideboard= We have cards to help against aggro and a few against fellow control decks. We can stall out mardu..and once we do..we win...We dislike Gideon but with Anguished unmaking and momma angel of sanctions..we can exile him if we want to save a counter or do not have one.

So what do you think? Too slow? What could I change? Can a controlldeck even work?
Thanks Community

How to Play

Well control...we stick it to big early threats and when we turn the corner, we turn it sharp 90 degrees... once we stabilize we can win in so many ways...angels...a god...or big blue contructs.

I would advise using your life total as much as you can...take the early damage and save your spells for the bigger threats...who cares if a Thraben inspector is beating you down...or a little 2/2 zombie...because you can gain your life back quickly with Sorin or Gisela...
Feel the game out. If you go down...stall as long as possible to gain knowledge of the opponents deck and get yourself a better idea of what to go with game 2..

Aggro beats us...duh...but if we can stall and steal game 1...we can win the round..
