Re: Esper control SCG variant

Looks good.  However, not sure how I feel about Heliod here.  Try out Thassa, you can even get the devotion with Jace AoT and aetherling.  The scry a turn is really nice in control.  Much better than giving all of your creatures vigilance and making puny tokens.  She can also make blood baron unblockable, which might be relevant.

This list feels a little greedy.  You probably won't get there very often against aggro decks.

Re: Esper control SCG variant

I feel the opposite, supreme verdict is an agro game changer in itself.
Far and away is bounce+removal
Got the card draw to get the cards I need more often
Jace explains itself..
Aetherling is a game ender, and Elspeth is a second option if aetherling gets removed somehow. Elsepth can also carry the game on her back. Shes A LOT better than what people give her credit for.

Re: Esper control SCG variant

can we keep this out of the trades forum please? too bad that it's not getting enough attention but if everyone just starts posting any random old shit on here then what's the point of a trades forum in the first place?

Re: Esper control SCG variant

I moved this to the Decks and Deckbuilding forum. TBittenbender, I think here you will get more answers than on the Reddit subforum smile

beacon, would be great if you were a bit more friendly to people tongue
