Working on an actual exper control build instead of UB Dragons splashing white. Trying to run this list this Friday at FNM and I'm open to all the help I can get. I haven't played a standard FNM since before Fate Reforged came out, so I don't know what my local meta looks like. I'm trying to prepare for everything.

The main reasons for going true Esper are because of Narset Transcendent and Radiant Purge. The Abzan decklists run so many multi-colored permanents that Ultimate Price loses a lot of targets. In addition, it can come in against Jeskai Tokens to take out Jeskai Ascendency . Being able to rebound any removal spell is great when your opponent has multiple creatures on the board. Rebounding a removal with one creature in play is basically a Time Walk.

I'm open to suggestions. However, please, if recommending a card, I'd appreciate a recommendation for something to remove as well. I will take all recommendations into careful consideration and will post here Saturday to let everyone know the update.

As always, +1s are greatly appreciated and playtesting with feedback is the best.

Thanks for the help.
