Deck Description

Pretty normal modern Esper control deck. Pretty budget friendly (around 50$ for the deck and the sideboard). Basically just neutralize threats and get to your big stuff using card draw and scry. Also I need sideboard suggestions and also if you can think of any cards I missed I would appreciate the comments

How to Play

Duress- gets stuff out of opponents hand. If they're playing a more creature oriented deck, side in despise.

Gitaxian Probe- lets you know what you're up against as well as lets you draw a card

supreme verdict- board wipe

disdainful stroke, dissolve, mana leak, rune snag- counter stuff

Hero's downfall, utter end- takes care of anything that gets through the counter spells

Mastery of Unseen/Myth Realized- this is how you win- take your extra mana and during your opponents end step use it to manifest or make the myth bigger

Monastery siege- card draw and allows you to discard any useless cards such as conditional counters you can't use, extra copies of certain cards (like a second monastery siege) and another phyrexian arena.

SIDEBOARD

Tidebinder mage- side in against red/green agro decks

silence- ruins tempo

Nightveil specter- side in against other control decks- use it to play their cards

Mana Leak- helps counter early agro decks

surgical extraction- takes apart combo decks
