@ j35bomb, I added to the sideboard some cards that involve infinite combos that I can remember at the current moment. If you have questions, let me know!

hmm..i noticed that you don't have counterspells or any spot removals on your mainboard..but still, i'm inspired with your build. Lots of big flying dudes, enchantments that give you an advantage on the board, but i'm wondering how will you turn the tables if you're on a tight spot against a very quick aggro commander, especially Mayael the Anima ? That's my longtime problem when im using the triplets as my commander, and my aggro playmates tend to always check on my board development and take me out early.

And also, of you're not playing for French Banning, you may also consider including Serra Ascendant on your army for your air superiority tactics.

@blackwing00, my play group does not allow counterspells, so that is why there is a lack of them! As for the aggro, putting a bunch of board wipes like Wrath of God , Damnation , and Supreme Verdict can help wipe away those pesky Mayael the Anima fetches and allow you to set up a new board state. Also, the mentally absurd amount of "mana rocks" allows for some intense ramp if lucky enough. And another note, adding some tutors that are way out of my price range (looking at you Demonic Tutor ) can get you the cards you need, like a board wipe, or set up an awesome field presence early with say Quicksilver Amulet . Hope that helps, and I'm glad this deck inspired you!

Thanks dude and I understand that your play group likes more combat action, less game stalling. I agree with your sub-normal land count for a control deck like ours. Your mana stones will definitely fill that gap. As for the tutors, I have have Planar Portal , Increasing Ambition and Diabolic Revelation as my Vampiric Tutor or Demonic Tutor replacements, since those cards will be definitely out of my price range. I'll definitely try your build, include more big flying dudes, additional card advantages and mass wipes.

Cyclonic Rift ;) Send everything back to your opponents hands at the end of their turn/right before your turn and then cast their stuff with Sen Triplets before they can :)

@M3xiPanda. I didn't even think about adding that in here!! I haven't paid much attention to Ravnica recently but I definitely will get on that! Thanks for the great suggestion :D

No thank you!! You've inspired me! I had absolutely no idea how I was going to produce a black and blue EDH without being accused of coping my friend's Sygg, River Cutthroat deck but you helped me find the solution, add white :)

@M3xiPanda. I'm so glad I could help inspire you to make a deck that you're proud of!! Esper is by far my favorite color combination with all of the potential ways to build it, so I hope you find a way that suits you and run with it!!! If you have anymore questions just let me know! :)

I think I might build triplets over Sharuum. One of these days.I like the deck, pretty damn cool. +1

@MirranTitan. The reason I play Sen Triplets over Sharuum the Hegemon is that Sharuum is renowned for her infinite loops, which I do not find particularly fun in a slightly competitive (yet still casual!!) atmosphere. I use her to revive stuff I lost and that's about it. Maybe with her and Master Transmuter , but that's like once a turn and my friends don't find that unfair so hey, I'm doing it lol. Just a word of caution with Sen, though, is that you get targeted immediately once she steps foot onto the field, cause nobody likes their cards taken!! Just keep that in mind if you decide to go Esper (which you should totally do, cause it's the best. Not like I'm biased or anything...) Thanks for appreciating my deck and I hope yours works out for the best!!!

Have you considered some cards from Gatecrash like Diluvian Primordial instead of Chancellor of the Spires or Sepulchral Primordial instead of Unburial Rites . Maybe you could try with some of the more powerful Wrath like Scourglass , Merciless Eviction or Rout instead of Day of Judgment . Also, Trinket Mage is really good as he can fetch Sol Ring , Everflowing Chalice and Artifact Lands. I loved your approach to Esper without infinite combos, wish my meta was like that, so I could run funnier things than LD and combo hate in my EDHs.

@XLunAbate. I have not really looked at Gatecrash recently, due to college ripping all of my money away faster than I can blink, but I definitely want to take a real good look at Ravnica as a whole and see what I can pull out of it. I like your idea of stronger field hate, especially that Merciless Eviction card, cause that looks like a ton of fun to fling out there instant speed with Leyline of Anticipation or Vedalken Orrery if I had one. My Day of Judgment is also a full art foil, so that is another reason I use it. ;) I like your suggestions about the Primordials, but I would rather keep my Chancellor since he is a sphinx and I have a slight theme of them (cause they are awesome!), and Unburial Rites has flashback, which I use the most to sneak in a creature like Blazing Archon to ruin my opponents' day. Trinket Mage is cool too, but I generally use Tezzeret the Seeker to do the same thing repeatedly for 2 more mana. Thanks for the comment and ideas, though!! And if you want your play group to be less "meta", make a rules sheet just for you all and build decks around that. It pays off big in the long run and to be honest is more fun and less infuriating haha!!

How is 30 lands working for you by the way?

Actually, I totally spaced on the "Play lands from your opponents hand" disregard previous question.

Hey Lightningsci thanks for the recommendation of speaking with my playgroup about playing less "meta" decks, It worked wonderfully! I made my first serious-nonserious EDH deck today (The Sisterhood) and playing against good albeit non cutthroat decks felt great! I know it haves nothing to do with Zen Triplets or Esper, but I just wanted to thank you for upping the fun in my playgrop. Thank you very much bro! (or sis, idk).

@ XLunAbate. So glad to see that everything worked out for you!! Good luck on your future decks and spread the word of custom play group rules!!

Why are the shocks in the maybeboard? Lands (On a regular basis, dual lands don't provide for unfun gameplay)

@MirranTitan. The maybeboard is cards I want but can't afford/can't acquire at the current moment. I guess I forgot to say that earlier, my bad!!

a Glacial Chasm would be nice

@Bigteck. Glacial Chasm has too high of a cumulative upkeep for me to find comfortable as well as having to sacrifice a land... just isn't working for me. Use pressure from your flying beasts to go on the offensive instead of defensive. The best defense is a good offense, as they say. Thanks for the suggestion though!!

add in Baleful Strix , card:Sphinx's Revelation and Cavern of Souls (name sphinxes)

The shock lands a pretty good so I think you should be able to find some way to get them into the deck. At least as good as river of tears IMO. Also I'm very surprised to not see Vindicate anywhere on the page. I thought it was an auto-include in any deck with both white and black.

@Human_Rogue_21. I have card:Sphinx's Revelation in my Bruna, Light of Alabaster , and I feel it belongs in there more. And Cavern of Souls is way out of my price range atm. Baleful Strix looks interesting however ;) and @Doug31, the shocklands are very expensive as well as on my need to acquire list. I may have a chance of getting one though, so keep your fingers crossed haha. And I for the life of me cannot get my hands on a Vindicate due to their popularity and outrageous price. Soooo long story short I'm a poor college kid just making due with what I can. Thanks for the comments though, really appreciate it!! Sorry for taking so dang long to respond, exam week!!

If you are able to get your hands on one Consecrated Sphinx is amazing and on-theme! I have been working on a Sharuum EDH for a little while now and this deck is leaning me toward the Triplets. +1
