Is Esper or W/U/R control viable in standard right now?

The "best" control list I've seen so far is bant control. You get Thragtusk , Selesnya Charm , card:Sphinx's Revelation, Angel of Serenity , and more. Seems pretty good to me.
Zandl's Big-Ass Wipes (1st @ FNM!) is a deck that I point people to if they want to see a Bant control deck as an archetype.

I have had some success with my Junk Control deck as well. Recently I've been debating on a fourth color but it does well against other control decks and can handle aggro as well the only matchups with my current build. I seem to have trouble against is Jund Midrange with card:Rakdos's Return, G/B zombies, and reanimation gives me some trouble but after sideboard I can usually handle myself no problem. I'm really hoping with gatecrash my deck will get some power boost but I haven't seen anything good for the deck yet.
