Sen Triplets Esper, how do I do this? (Page 1 of 2)

Not a bad idea, I can use pieces from that but I need to find a way to make it my own...=/ just can't think of a way yet

IMO, I would run a ton of artifact ramp to play triplets quickly, use darksteel forge and things that give artifacts shroud/hexproof to keep sen triplets alive. Then all the ramp you have will come in handy when you're stealing people's hands and using their cards against them. With the triplets deck I would mostly run artifacts and some esper bombs, aka sphinx of the steel wind, sharuum, magister sphinx, graveyard recursion, artifact tutoring, etc. an then use the other people's hand with all your artifact ramp to 1. Run the hand control game 2. Lock them out of board wipes 3. Make sure they don't have counter magic since all your on board things will potentially have indestructible and shroud.

Guardian Beast, but it's expensive now.  I blame EDH.  Also doesn't work for artifact creatures, just non-creatures.

edit:
As far as ramp goes, look into Basalt Monolith, Mana Vault and Grim Monolith.  These can be enchanted with Power Artifact to gain infinite mana (the vault has to untap during your upkeep), or they can be untaped with Voltaic Key or Unwinding Clock.

Indomitable archangel, Hanna's custody, fountain watch, spectral guardian and leonin abunas are the best ones I know of.

Also, if you're not running things like exsanguinate or debt to the deathless, I wouldn't worry about infinite mana. I it's not going to auto win the game it's just going to eat up valuable card slots with combo pieces to amount basically to nothing. I would run more counters than combo pieces for infinite mana cause things like return to dust, final judgment and other artifact RFG cards can ruin your day if for some reason you don't have any shroud/hexproof things out with the forge or equipments that are protecting the triplets.

Other ramp artifacts that go good would be chromatic lantern, coalition relic, signets, mana crypt (if you have it or can get it since it's expensive), along with sol ring, mana vault, grim monolith, basalt monolith, thran dynamo, worn power stone, dream stone hedron, darksteel ingot, cold steel heart and ever flowing chalice. Although, personally, I would try to stick to more things that add colored mana, even the key runes could be useful.

Run Desertion. Nothing beats the look on someone's face as you steal their commander or eldrazi.

Phyrexian Revoker can turn off a mana rock or a planeswalker.  Transmute Artifact* can tutor for you, Lodestone Golem or Ethersworn Canonist can keep your opponents from playing all of their spells.  (Their best defense is to empty their hands). Bribery* takes things right out of their library.  Yawgmoth's Will* can be useful, as can Lion's Eye Diamond*.

*Things with a * may be out of budget for a casual deck.

I edited my above post so check it out.

Looks great, thanks for the help!

Gee I'm glad I posted here, no one in the Reddit trade thread was interested at all, normally they are most helpful...but it is normally you guys Helios, Unstable, Paul, and a couple others anyways =P

Another few things I would run... Font of mythos, howling mine, temple bell, otherworld atlas and the jace that lets everyone draw cards. Keeping your opponents hands full usually isn't a great idea, until you're playing all the cards they have with strict board control and an almost untouchable field. Also, I agree with an above post to use mycosynth lattice, cause it allows you to break the color barriers, so you triplets deck might troll other esper players pretty hard but it will be almost effect less against any other color combos, lattice with you're superior board position allows you to steal anyone's hand and play whatever you want. I would also run closer to 10 counters just to make sure you have them at the right time. Spell jack and desertion are auto includes in pretty much and blue deck.

I'm getting a list together now, might take me a couple minutes, stay tuned...thanks for the help!

Knowledge Exploitation and Grinning Totem are always fun. As is Memory Plunder. They definintly fit in nicely with the "whats yours is mine" theme. Plus playing someone ELSES Wrath at instant speed for 4 mana is never bad lol.

I also suggest Telemin Performance is def fun to both mill and steal a creature

EDIT: I forgot about Head Games. Play it and fill your oppenants hand with stuff you want/can caste and laugh hysterically as you play the other persons hand lol
