    Re: Esper Mentor

    The Architect's list on the previous page is solid based on experience and is easy to adjust based on your meta with the 3 flex slots. I haven't tested TnA_Will's standstill list yet but it looks...

    Re: Esper Mentor

    I played some preboard games against Barook's GW Eldrazi Ramp 2.0 to develop a sideboard plan against that variant. My last 3 slots were Baleful Strix, Gurmag Angler, and Council's Judgment. The...

    Re: Esper Mentor

    The standstill list looks good. I would be reluctant to go to 3 Force of Will with the influx of chalices in the meta. Based on your sideboard, I would guess lands variants are absent in your meta. ...

    Re: Esper Mentor

    Miracles has been very unfavorable for me recently. I like having Null Rod for death and taxes, blade control variants, MUD, ANT, DDFT, and painter variants. SDT might be correct if Null Rod seems...

    @.dk I like the use of Esper Charm to reduce the reliance on Abrupt Decay in your list and I plan on testing them myself since lacks the unfavorable features of Painful Truths. In the past, I have...

    I agree that Thoughtseize is the better choice in your list due to the lack of Gitaxian Probe and sacrifice fodder. I like how daze and stifle do not become dead in the late game by being able to be...

    Re: Esper Mentor

    The second Surgical Extraction has been performing well in my testing. The additional turn zero interaction for storm and reanimator style decks is beneficial and the four Cabal Therapies in my list...

    Re: Esper Mentor

    I play 2 Surgical Extraction in my sideboard for every variant I have tested. I wouldn't run Rest in Peace since it turns off your Cabal Therapies, Snapcaster Mages, and Deathrite Shamans. I found a...

    Re: Esper Mentor

    Thank you for the suggestion. I am indecisive about bringing in back to basics without having tested it.

    Edit: Baleful strix can be good in that matchup but it gets bolted often. It being an...

    I have not used the team ultrapro variant before so I do not have much advise for that matchup. Regarding the mentioned cards, I have found Umezawa's Jitte to be not fast enough it to make a...

    Re: Esper Mentor

    Recently, I have not been happy with Counterspell in the deck. It has been hard to integrate into prowess overruns and token generating chains and I often do not want to keep mana up for it. Has...

    Team Ultrapro's Deck List is up. I do not like how it looks on paper honestly.

    Deck List for Reference:
    4 Deathrite Shaman
    2 Snapcaster Mage
    4 Monastery Mentor
    1 Tasigur, the Golden Fang
    4...

    Re: Esper Mentor

    That list looks interesting. How are the True-Name Nemesis, Unearths, and Wastelands performing in your variant? I am also curious if you find 3 Spell Pierce and 2 Counterspell enough disruption for...

    Re: Esper Mentor

    I tested Painful Truth against Canadian Thresh in two games. It was miserable enough for me to scrap the idea but further testing would be needed. I might go back to testing it. Could I have a second...

    I am curious about the reasoning behind the 2 Rest in Peace in the sideboard since it is not synergetic with the Cabal Therapy and Deathrite Shaman. I also wonder if the 3 Swords to Plowshares was...

    I can vouch for lingering souls being effective in the deck. It is decent for Cabal Therapy flashbacks. I have recently tested Sorin, Solemn Visitor and it has been insane. I have rarely lost a game...

    I personally never liked dig as a card in the deck since it made the deck have too much card draw for my taste so I ran Gurmag Angler instead of them. Gurmag Angler was great for me since it was as...

    Cavern of Souls feels like one of the weaker cards in my decklist but I have not had it create many issues with casting my spells. It has been great a couple of times but most of the time it is just...
