Deck Description

This is a work in progress, but it's an Esper Control, relying on combos to win the game. It's commander is Oloro, his life gives you extra padding, and his draw helps you keep card advantage and draw into more wincons.

Quick note: the sb is still a WIP, I need to figure out what the popular decks are, and what good subs are.

How to Play

This deck wins off of combos, I will just list the cards required on the field. These will all be card(s) that are used to win. Just be careful that you can win quickly with them, they paint a huge target on your back.

Luminarch Ascension: two mana for a 4/4 Angel? A win if you can corner an opponent. Also great utility because it lets you keep mana open for counters, and if you don't use it you can still get an Angel for your troubles.

Mind over Matter + Arcanis the Omnipotent: Insta win. You draw your whole library, into Laboratory maniac for a win.

Mind over Matter + Azami, Lady of Scrolls: Same as above

Mind over Matter + Temple Bell: By itself, Bell is great. It gives you draw and helps table politics. MoM is used in like 5 combos, so put the fact that they form an instant win is even better. Make everyone draw, either play Lab Maniac, or use Ulamog to reshuffle your library, causing your opponents to draw out first. Ulamog is also a nice bomb, so he's not a wasted slot either.

Enter the Infinite: Insta win. Draw whole library into Lab Maniac, win from there.

Demonic Consultation + Laboratory Maniac: Insta win, or a tutor for Laboratory Maniac that mills a good part of your library (most likely)

Paradigm Shift + Laboratory Maniac: Mill almost all of your library.

Thought Lash + Laboratory Maniac: Mill your whole library.

Jace's Archivist + Psychosis Crawler: Archivist is great by himself, and Crawler is annoying. Put them together, and you have a combo that wrecks other control decks, allows you to filter, all while gaining you life and making a massive creature.

Jace's Archivist + Consecrated Sphinx: A great combo, murders control players and gives you a ton of draw and card advantage. In a table of 6, you may draw around 60 cards. This allows you to win just off of Lab Maniac. Also both great cards by themselves. Throw in a Psychosis Crawler, and you gain a laughable amount of life.



Thopter Assembly + Time Sieve: Infinite turns. Win however you like.

All the other cards are either tutors, annoyers, counters, mana rocks, or removal (direct or board wipe).
