This is my Esper turbo fog mill deck. It's pretty budget, in the sense that it doesn't have Celestial Colonnade's in it. They would do very well here I think. They'd allow you to attack the enemy, or take down troublesome Planeswalkers - Liliana of the Veil and Nahiri, the Harbinger mainly.

Basically this deck is all about playing Howling Mines and sticking Sphinx's Tutelage. Then you use all the Esper coloured Fog's to keep yourself alive. Dawn Charm, Ethereal Haze, Holy Day, Batwing Brume.

The main reason I have splashed black in this deck is for Batwing Brume. It's another fog, and it actually works very well with Forbidden Orchard if your opponent goes aggro. Your opponent realising you're a mill deck won't hesitate to fetch and shock themselves, and when they swing with all their creatures, and the free spirits you've given them, Batwing Brume can take them by surprise and sometimes hit them for 10 damage. Winning you a game one while they still have 20-30 cards in their library. They'll never fall for it again, but it is pretty funny when they do it the first time.

The sideboard is mostly to help against burn. Leyline of Sanctity on turn 0 is fantastic otherwise Kor Firewalker can gain us some life and block most of their creatures - Goblin Guide, Monastery Swiftspear, probably not Wild Nacatl though.

I have also considered putting some sort of Iona, Shield of Emeria, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, Unburial Rites combo in there. Maybe just one copy of each as a back up plan to the mill strategy.

Also, I haven't played this deck for a while, but I do know Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is seeing more play. Outside of the one Tormod's Crypt in the sideboard, I don't really have a way to deal with that. It wasn't an issue until I started seeing the Nahiri, the Harbinger decks.
