New Deck

Summary

Esper lifedraincombo control with strong internal synergy, redundant twocard kill packages, and solid spot interaction. It fits Bracket 3 well, but the 3.21 average nonland mana value, zero backendcounted tutors, and only 1 backendcounted countermagic piece make it more vulnerable than the sharpest midpower lists.
