Deck discussion for Esper Control

As for stuff you can do now to power this up, take out the the Panoramas for more Arcane Sanctums. Also, git rid of Spell Snip and Traumatic Visions for more multiples of your other spells (or put in those Scepter of Dominance). Path to Exile is a great control card and Ethersworn Cannonist is a must-have for an artifact-based control deck.

I don't know how much of this you've gotten a chance to look at/play with yet, but especially with many of the new cards in Alara Reborn, you can take out Tower Gargoyle and Scornful AEther-Lich for goodies such as Esper Stormblade, Meddling Mage (not an artifact, but it would be great) and Sen Triplets (another must-have for an artifact control deck). Also, Mistvein and Fieldmist Borderposts are great replacements for Obelisk of Esper.

Well the Arcane Sanctum I only have 1 copy of.

When I get more of Hindering Lights and the newer control spells in Alara Reborn Spell Snips will be going out...
I like Traumatic Visions for the basic landcycling but they would be the next to go out after Spell Snip.

I am trying to get my hands on some more cards like some more Scepters and 1 more Scourglass. Esper will be another target quickly coming mainly for the case of sacing a Scourglass I can make sure more of my opponents stuff destorying when it is.

(I did not mention this, but I am a still a student, so I am restricted in the amount of packs I am able to get and my nearest store is 40 miles away: so I need to get trading (only 4 other players in town) or get over there which is hard in either case...)

Ah, I understand. Well, so far as the limited resources you have, the deck is not bad at all. If nothing else, those are things to keep watch for.

BTW I really love using Path to Exile but that is in my Domain deck because it can help that a bit better.
