Deck Description

This is an experiment I am working on. It loosely based on an Esper aggro/control deck I used in Alara. I have basically torn it apart and Confluxitized the deck.

The centerpiece of the deck is the Master Transmuter. With her I bring cards in and out of play, triggering the "comes into play" mechanics on the other artifacts. Minion Reflector doubles the fun!

The dependency on Master Transmuter is this deck's biggest weakness. The next biggest weakness is the fact that it is almost entirely artifacts. I love the "comes into play" mechanic enough that I might extend this deck beyond Esper. By using cards like Flickerwisp and Turn to Mist I can replace Master Transmuter to some extent.

Using Unsummon and Call to Heel could be advantageous as well. Unsummon your creature, then Tidehollow Sculler it out of play. Later I chump block with Tidehollow Sculler and Call to Heel him before the damage resolves.

Tons of removal in the sideboard, tailor the spells to the deck you face. (Agro => Remove Soul, Terror, Talara's Bane - Burn => Hindering Light, Negate - Control => Negate, Talara's Bane and Hinering Light)

I've gotta look at the Land's... I only play casually so I'm trying to keep things fairly cheap (hence the lack of Tezzeret). I like the Vivid * lands because they color fix when you need it and provide coloured mana later. I will see if they slow me down too much (coming into play tapped = for the loss).

Play testing will commence next week or the week after. I'm really excited about this deck!

Wishlist (if I were a rich man...):
- Tezzeret the Seeker x 3 instead of Sphinx Summoner x 4
- Adarkar Wastes, Underground River and Caves of Koilos instead of the Vivid lands
- Sunken Ruins & Mystic Gate (2-3 of each, replacing a Swamp or Plains respectively).

So if i understand the mechanics correctly, you can use executioners capsule and then transmute it to you hand and back into play before you ever have to sacrifice it?
