Esper Cryptic Lock (Modern MTG Deck)

A Modern take on Esper Control. The deck aims to 2-for-1 itself into a Cryptic Command lock (with the opponent on 0 cards in hand a Teferi, Hero of Dominaria/Jace, the Mind Sculptor and Mystic Sanctuary ). Once this lock has been established, the Planeswalkers draw the rest of the deck and eventually a Teferi, Hero of Dominaria ultimate, Jace, the Mind Sculptor ultimate, or Celestial Colonnade beats will close the game. Apart from the Cryptic Command lock, the deck leverages Mystic Sanctuary to make your opponent discard their hand with Esper Charm, duplicate Supreme Verdict, and a multitude of other effects that help control the game. Overall, the deck is built to out card-advantage it's opponents with 2-for-1's before slamming Planeswalkers to close the game. I hope you enjoy the list, I've worked for years on it.
