Deck Description

About the cards in the deck:

Lyev Skyknight is a 3/1 flyer that causes one of the opponent's creatures to tap and no uptap duing their next up tap step. I like this card seems like decent value but not completely set on it yet.

Reflector Mage Good tempo control for creatures causing a creature an opponent controls to get put into their hands and be unable to be played for another turn after the fact. really like this card.

Wall of Frost a good defender that goes with the theme of the deck. Seems overall solid.

Azorius Charm a card that has options that I feel will be quite useful but I am also looking at other charm that I could use also.

Mana Leak a solid counter

Think Twice card draw with flash back could be better options though.
Condescend counter again I really like this counter.

Geist of Saint Traft one of the win con of this deck. creating a 4/4 with it attacks and being hex proof seems sold but still not to set on it.

Delver of Secrets with a good amount of spells in this deck I though delver would be a good value card.

Brine Elemental one of the combo pieces that has a decent body but only for when the game drags out/ another way to lock down the opponent.

Vesuvan Shapeshifter the last combo piece which can be used on any of the creature for example reflector mage to create another blink effect.

Oblivion Ring some removal think it's decent removes any non land permanent but not completely set on it yet.

Undying Evil my most janky card which is in the deck with the idea of bring back a card such as Lyev Skyknight with a 1+/+1 counter and using it's 'enters the battle field effect I believe that I might need to have more creatures that do this or perhaps looking at the amount Undying Evil I have.



Overall I want to create a sort of Janky but effective Esper control deck which I feel needs a lot of work but with some I feel it could be something I could really be proud of.


Recreation of my first deck.

Deck discussion for Esper Brine Control

I think you should focus on a lot more control like dropping Skyknights and Delver for maybe hard removal and maybe drop the combo since it really isn't that strong.

For better draw maybe you would like to use Take Inventory?
You could also consider some flicker, such as Ghostly Flicker, Cloudshift, and Displace?
You might also like some Archaeomancer?
I think that if you are going for strong deck you could probably change some stuff around but you know what?
I really like the flavor this deck has and there are a lot of generic and easy combos to put in this deck that you would put in almost any control deck but that's boring IMO.
I love it just the way it is :).

Quite like Archaeomancer ,Ghostly Flicker Cloudshift seem like they could be quite good dunno what I would like to swap for these but I do like them. also made another deck that is along the lines of this one but it doesn't have the combo but I'm trying to make it overall run more smoothly. Still working on it so it's currently incomplete but check it out and tell me what you think http://www.mtgvault.com/senress/decks/undying-tempo/

Ask you local L2 judge.
