Deck discussion for Esper Control Theros

Its weird seeing a control deck without having plansewalkers maybe add Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver, Gideon, Champion of Justice, Jace, Architect of Thought all for some extra control and made into an added threat so your creatures get to go unharmed for the win. Just suggestions

Definitley agree. I wouldn't add Ashiok because you already have a win condition with all the creatures you are playing. I would add Jace, Architect of Thought for sure. Gideon you could add, but wouldn't be my first option. Otherwise, nice deck.

I thought about Jace, AOT and still am. He is great with his Fact or Fiction effect and his +1, but fitting him in my list is a bit difficult. I went with a route with more creature pressure. I also made this in mind with my shops Metagame. What do you think I could slimdown or dis for Jace.

I would recommend dropping one Supreme Verdict, and sideboard the one that you drop because if you're in a control match, the last thing you want to draw into is a verdict. I would also recommend dropping all 3 Riot Control because if your deck is really control, you don't need to fog you're self out of a situation like that. Now looking at creatures, I would think that dropping the Angel of Serenity is what you should do. To replace that creature get just one Obezedat, Ghost Council because he is legendary and wins games, put also gives you more life gain from the Riot Control. Then replacing the verdict, and riot controls, add 4 Jace, Architect of Thought. That may seem like a lot but, if you're in a control match up, you can dig into land and other removal, or aggro using Jace's +1 ability.
If you want more ideas checkout my Esper control.

Instead of obzedat I'm going with Elspeth.

Okay, that seems really good. It's just that if you're against a aggro deck, Obzedat can gain you life that you might of lost earlier in the match. I still like the Elspeth idea, keep her put I would add a Obzedat.

I agree ghost council is almost a must cause it can be a win condition as well as survival
