I've basically played Esper Control every block since I started Magic. For INN/RTR, things are looking like slower, more powerful tapout control decks have the strength to keep up with midrange(value creatures galore at the cost of some speed) and instant speed control decks(who operate on a faster, less powerful mindset).

Planeswalkers are actually in a decent spot right now. For me, at least. I play in a meta where RDW and burn decks just don't exist. I guess I have less douchebags at my LGS(Sorry RDW pilots). They create value on board, are relatively easy to protect in a control shell once they get going, and provide instawin moments if(see as "when") they go ultimate. In the control matchup you can just turtle Nephalia Drownyard anyways.

I go 3-1 pretty consistently with this list. It's not as polished as I'd like it to be, but I'm working on that. If you have ideas or suggestions to test, shout em out here! I appreciate all input. If you like the deck and decided to netdeck it, just gimme a +1.
