So, this is my actual version of my deck Esper Gift in modern. It is slightly tweaked to deal with the aggro meta that's prevalent at my LGS.

I would appreciate any advice you could give me to improve this beautiful machine.

As to how it works;

1. 1rst to 3rd-5th turn, Slow down your opponent with your removal or wipes or counterspell or tokens, hand attack etc.

2. 4th turn and onwards, play Gifts Ungiven to go get either Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite or Iona, Shield of Emeria, both with Unburial Rites. Your opponent is given no choice, the two cards go into the graveyard and you can reanimate it next turn. The choice of which one to get varies enormously on the situation.

3. if you get stranded with a pay-off card in your hand, you can discard it via either Thoughtseize or the better choice, Collective Brutality.

4. It happens that the first Gifts you'll be casting isn't going to go and get a pay off card, there is still some gift packages in the main or Sideboard.
