![]() Esper Charm serves as a way to generate additional value in one way or another but I feel planeswalkers do this more effectively. Long term and repetitive advantage is something I value heavily in this deck. Although I like the card’s versatility quite a bit, I’m happy to cut it in favor of more planeswalkers. The most obvious note when comparing this list to Allen’s is the lack of Esper Charm. Dovin’s Veto is the ultimate ‘no’ and gives the deck another fantastic Counterspell to add to its suite. ![]() Teferi and Narset offer 3 mana proactive plays for the deck to make and aim to slam the door earlier in the game. Three cards from War of the Spark may not seem like much of a shake-up for the whole format, but they have really powered up the UW/UWx Control decks. So War of the Spark ….well, let’s take a look at the list I took to an 11th place finish at the SCG Classic in Syracuse: With cheaper removal, Nihil Spellbomb (which can also cycle), and access to four Snapcaster Mage to rebuy Paths, Pushes, and Surgical Extraction, this matchup has become much closer. Opting for a deck with more cards that are good against Dredge in the pre-sideboarded games may seem like going overboard but the truth is that Dredge is good at powering through hate and a few sideboard Rest in Peaces won’t do the trick. ![]() I don’t care how many Rest in Peace you have in the sideboard: this is a rough one. With that in mind, shifting to two Supreme Verdict amidst the improved black removal suite is a very welcome change.Īnother reason I like the shift to Esper is the Dredge matchup. Terminus is incredible, but I think it has become too clunky for the current meta. I liked that his deck could interact earlier and more often than the Terminus builds, as the problems I often face when playing control in modern result from being run over without time to stabilize and push towards the late game. Instead of relying on expensive or unreliable sweepers, it relies on cheap spot-removal in the form of Fatal Push, Cast Down, Collective Brutality, and the ubiquitous 4 copies of Path to Exile. This list takes a different approach from the common terminus-dominated control decks. ![]()
