I was looking for a new deck to play in Modern, something that played a strong mid-range control plan. There are plenty of good options available right now, but I've never been much for following the top decks. I don't play enough serious magic to want a top tier deck. I love esper, I love grixis, and I was at a loss for what to play. I could go with a stock Grixis Death's Shadow or control deck, or I could homebrew some pile with esper cards. Or I could home brew a pile with the best of both combinations! It started as a fun project, but now it seems to actually have some promise. Just play the best non-green cards in a mid-range control deck, add some spice, and see what happens! I will be taking this to a moderately sized tournament in a couple weeks, hoping to have fun and steal some wins.

Am I crazy? YES. Is this a fun pile of shit? YES!!! Hardest part is nailing down the mana-base. I wonder if I should just stuff in more fast-lands, use a few buddy lands, not sure. Against Blood Moon I laugh, play my one bolt in hand, and move on to game 2. I honestly wonder if I should have any basics at all...
