Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

That said, I do of course have a few discussion points. Has anyone come to a conclusion on the correct number of Drown in the Loch to play? Is Mystical Dispute still worth sideboard slots? Is anyone planning to run more copies of Field of Ruin for the Field of the Dead matchups? (Amulet is in a gre...

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

By the way this is the list i'll be running asaic. I trimmed Jace cause I felt it was something slow and didn't want to tap out for 4 mana. Aded a Vclique and 2nd spell snare instead. In the side added the 2nd CB and a Noxious Grasp. Like I said, im considering maining discard spells. Might be cutti...

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

Would it be crazy to main 4 iok instead of 2 ts 2 iok then? Maybe even 4 iok main 2 ts side against specific mu? Or maybe even just 2 iok main and 2 ts side. But i think discard spells are so valuable giving perfect info that we should be running at least a couple.

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

So...to run discard or not to run discard? Best 1 cmc black spells in modern are inquisition and thoughtseize period. If were playing black, why isnt it a concensus to play 2 iok 2 ts main at least? Ive heard people say "this is proactive abd were reactive" and so what if the card is not r...

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

I haven't posted in a week or so as I had been playing my other modern deck (BR goblins). Today I ended up 1-2 winning against jund (2-0) and losing against UR breach (1-2) and twiddle storm (0-2). Speaking of Ego, I think will main it on tuesday if I play esper cause there are a lot of combo decks ...

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

Leyline is still faster and 3 copies is enough with the london mull (the same 3 copies of rip youre playing) so theres no point in playing rip in this scenario

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

Then play leyline which is faster and doesnt go against your own deck as much
Theres a reason people side in rip against grixis control which shares drown tasigur and snap with your build

Kayas guile also answers dredge and isnt as narrow. Kalitas too and also helps against burn aggro and jund

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

Went 3-0-1 tonight at my LGS. Ended up 1st. R1: Won (2-0) against GDS. G1: I kept path path drown lands so no shadow was going to hurt me. He flooded tho and I beat him with snap and tar pit. G2: He never found the third land and I slammed Snap+opt t3 and Jace t4 and plus on him while hitting. He re...

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

Went 1-1-2 at my LGS tonight. Not in the mood for an extensive write up cause I've been feeling quite sick the last few days so I'll cut to the chase. R1: tied against Jund (1-1) My friend came like 8 min late to the tournament and it ended up costing me the third game which I would've won. The firs...

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

I think we're favoured g1 against mardu cause they have so many dead cards (but you gotta still be careful with the blood moons in the main cause they can steal the game outta nowhere which is annoying). Post sb things turn in their favour Yeah he plays an almost identical list to this I found: http...

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

[mention]The Fluff[/mention] To be honest I think I've just played correctly and been lucky the last 3 or so times i've faced the jund mu cause I believe its very close (50-50) or maybe 55-45 in our favour at most, so anyone can win. Had a bad run today, Round 1 won (2-1) against boros burn. Game on...

Game one he played t3 oko on the play (i pushed his bird if not that oko wouldve came down t2..disgusting). He kept pressure with elk tokens i found a couple of spot removal ...

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

So I just went 2-1-1 tonight at my LGS. Round 1: tied against UR storm (1-1) Game one on the play I kept a slow and therefore risky hand with 2 cryptic lands snap (basically no interaction for the first 3 turns). I know the opponent, hes my friend and he respects the control mu and I knew he wouldn'...

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

Went 2-2-1 at a 20 people FNM tonight. R1: tied against amulet titan (1-1) Game one I kept a reasonable hand with two lands and didnt draw my third land for 3 turns. I was still able to win the game. Game two I made a mistake that cost me game. I should've snap + FON instead of snap + Cryptic cause ...

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

If you played 2 ego you didnt need leyline in the first place tbh. Even resolving one ego is backbreaking for them. 8 rack is such a fringe deck. Sure Kills burn but unless you play in a meta with lots of burn i wouldnt consider it cause its too narrow. If you like the card fine but doesnt seem like...

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

I take it you mean Spell Pierce ? Because Spell Snare doesn't help against Oko, Thief of Crowns . Yes, thanks. And your points about Veil of Summer are very well taken. If our opponent is impatient we can take advantage, but if they wait just one extra turn to cast Oko then they can back it up with...

Was 25 too many, in your opinion? - Do you feel like the 3rd and 4th Snaps are necessary? - Would you suggest playing the Snare, Ashiok, and Surgical in the board? How would feel abo...
