Deck discussion for Esper Control v1

Banishing light is fragile at the moment with all of the enchantment hate in the format. Bile blight will be hard to cast on time in a base U/W list, but is probably still better than last breath is. I think dissolve is still better than dissipate even with all of the graveyard based interactions in current standard - the scry is huge for a deck like this in order to continue hitting land drops and to be able to find all ur answers at the right time. Hero's downfall probably wants to be a four of in light of what I said about banishing light. Negate, while ok main, could quite easily be something better. With access to two scry lands, you almost certainly want murderous cut somewhere in it, and I think urborg is a must for the mana base. You also might want to include some further tools that black affords you such as T.S. or despise main. Also more card draw such as ingenuity or divination wouldn't go amiss, or even treasure cruise if you max out on fetches too. I also like some high impact one of cards in the main such as silence the believers, fated intervention or etherise. As for the SB I'm not sure where PLA comes in, but it seems unnecessary. I like a fourth Ashiok in the board to ensure you have it on turn three against the decks that just fold to it., and further copies of TS and despise to complement the ones I recommended in the main deck. SBs very meta dependant of course, and it's just my two cents, but these are the changes I would look to implement.
