I built am trying to build a casual/legacy flicker deck out of the remainder of the standard Esper control build I was using. I have added in quite a few cards but I am not sure if the mechanic is going to be strong enough. I want to stay away from heavy control setup as it gets to slow for casual play. I am also not interested in going full artifact or mill deck as I have done that in the past and I want a more manipulative type of play. I am actually even considering taking out stoneforge...

I tried this style of deck once before when the Kamigawa ninjutsu mechanic showed up. I build the ornithopter, ink eyes, obika, deep hours, Shuriken...etc. The problem was the mechanic just wasn't strong enough and it relied on dealing damage. I am building this current deck because it isn't dependent on delivering damage to get the effects. I really like the idea of doing the MC hammer "Can't touch this" dance whenever I am targeted just to bring them back in for effects.

Any input on how to streamline and cut down this pile of cards? Also any more powerful substitute cards I should be using since it is only casual or at best low level legacy?

Thank you in advance
