Deck Description

OK, so yes, this is a modern-format deck. Out of my usual stuff building standard decks, but since Modern Masters has come, the Innistrad block will phase out, and I just feel like doing this for the sake of having something modern, because I can't build a real-life EDH deck other than Krenko, I thought I'd make a modern deck out of the stuff I got and the stuff in my binder. So I might as well start working on this deck with a little modern outside the MTG standard community.

So this is Esper Control, as you clearly see, and it's got some good staples such as Jace, Memory Adept, Sunblast Angel, Enigma Sphinx, Mortivore, Angel of Jubilation, etc. It's got some draw spells such as Oculus, Sphinx's Revelation (after working on my Junk Midrange, I don't have any more Revelations, sorry), Brainstorm, etc. So this is a deck with a lot of Esper stuff in it.

Now, if you're reading this text box, I want you to tell me something: Modern players, did I do, at the very least, a decent job for a modern deck? Please tell me in the comments below and if you think it needs improvement, which it probably does, you can finally tell me in the comments what modern stuff I can use for this deck. If I did a bad job, then that means I suck at building Modern decks.

How to Play

Control. Well actually, it's a little more than that. You just attack with the big creatures in the deck and control your opponent(s) with counterspells and removal. That's it really.

Have a fine day today!

Deck discussion for Esper Control (Modern)

Needs more consistency would put in more of the same cards instead of one of a lot of different cards

Well, if I could. I only have 2 Jace, Memory Adept, I only have 1 Invisible Stalker, I only have 2 Angel of Glory's Rise, etc. This is a deck made out of some cards I got today, so there's not going to be that many copies.

So I'm going to give my criticism as a modern player, take it as you will, as I hope I can help.

Firstly this is not modern playable for the fact that many of the cards aren't allowed in the modern format, cards like brainstorm and Flood Plain are not allowed in modern.

Secondly, modern is but doesn't have to be very expensive format. But to make the deck more consistent and to put it plainly, better, I would consider adding playsets of cards instead of one of's.

The cards I would add is, more Snapcaster Mages, a playset of Geist of Saint graft, sword of fire and ice, sword of light and shadow, and batter skull, I would also add more invisible stalkers, a playset of path of exile

As for lands, I would add flooded strands, Polluted Deltas, and a godless shrine

As for the counters, as I said take out dissipate and add remand and mana leak.
