Rhetorical Control (Budget!)

by tangey on 07 November 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

This is a budget form of Esper Control for Standard play. Although not as strong as its $500 counterpart, this deck will be a true pain in the butt to deal with in any casual or tournament environment.

How to Play

Counter spells, drag the game out, get out Pearl Lake Ancient, and win.

If you are looking to make this deck stronger for a lot more money, here is a list of supplements to get you started:

Replace:
Dragon's Eye Savants <--> Nyx Fleece Ram
Suspension Field <--> Banishing Light
Murderous Cut <--> Hero's Downfall

Also throw in an Elspeth and an Ashiok and suddenly you have a pro level control deck.

I personally find Eidolon of Rhetoric funny to play with because he slows the game down drastically. He really helps out!

Anyways, if you have any ideas to improve this budget style control build, please let me know!
