Some changes im thinking about
switching out Blighted Steppe, Shambling Vent and Vault of the Archangel for Maze of Ith, Mystifying Maze and Reliquary Tower
Monologue Tax for Dark Tutelage
Words of Worship for Venser's Journal
and Brainstorm for Counterspell
overall these would lean the deck further into control and with the amount of card draw adds some needed increased hand size options
thoughts?

I have an Abzan life gain deck. These are some cards from it that might be worth a spot in your Esper strategy.
Essence Pulse, Kaya's Wrath, Kambal, Consul of Allocation, Divine Offering, Serene Offering, Shambling Vent, Aetherflux Reservoir, Alhammarret's Archive, Blighted Steppe

May I suggest: Blighted Steppe, Hall of Heliod's Generosity, Emeria, The Sky Ruin. As I see you also like to play with token armies so maybe Martial Coup (as a mass removal also) or Secure the Wastes. Can anyone answer me why this deck has a ridiculous high percent in competitiveness? It's the highest I've ever witnessed here on tappedout, but it seems to be odd ...

Hi Vessiliana really like your cool deck it contains some cards that inspired me to choose for my own mono white deck. I also got some suggestions for you: Blighted Steppe and Bonders' Enclave hope these are helpful. Greets

Hi! Thanks for the upvote.
A few suggestions:
Overwhelming Stampede
rather than
Overcome
; Sure your deck has many weenies, but by the time you're gonna want a 5 cmc mass trample for the win, you'll probably have something with larger than 2 power out.
Rule of Law
is great for multiplayer, but
Curse of Exhaustion
might fit if you're gearing the deck for 1v1. If you are going for multiplayer, then
Kismet
works great at slowing opponents down without impacting yourself.
With the amount of PWs in the deck,
Ignite the Beacon
and
Oath of Ajani
might be worthwhile.
Phyrexian Rebirth
could be a good board wipe, especially if you have crazy token amounts. Especially funny if you can combo it with
Fresh Meat
. Also funny with
Requiem Angel
out - a card worth including on its own, especially if you end up juggling your own tokens for other things.
Hardened Scales
,
Gavony Township
, and
Bloodspore Thrinax
, could play nice with the +1/+1 subtheme.
Ashnod's Altar
is great for utilizing creature tokens to get more things out.
Tireless Tracker
might help with card draw later and gets some counters on its own.
The deck comp is pretty balanced, so
Traverse the Ulvenwald
might be effective.
Congregation at Dawn
and
Chord of Calling
are other tutor options if you find that the deck is more successful with particular creatures out.
I love swapping weaker tokens with
Emrakul's Evangel
(another fun fresh meat combo play). Of course, there is always
Divine Visitation
as well.
It's easy to go overboard on doublers, but I figured I'd give a shout out to
Primal Vigor
and
Second Harvest
.
Swords to Plowshares
for
Pacifism
; might be better in some scenarios and always allows you to target your own creature to get some life out of it if you need to or if you go for the lifegain route.
Speaking of the lifegain route, if you want to go for it, here's some things that could work well:
Phantom Nishoba
,
Wall of Reverence
,
Cradle of Vitality
,
Fumigate
,
Congregate
,
Blighted Steppe
,
Blossoming Sands
,
Gingerbread Cabin
,
Radiant Fountain
,
Graypelt Refuge
,
Kabira Crossroads
,
High Market
, and
Phyrexian Processor
. The land balance will need to be played with if you want to swap the basics for some of those. Also, most Ajani PWs will work well for a more lifegain focused deck.
Now, when I think token generation, I think artifacts for many things.
Thopter Assembly
,
Genesis Chamber
, and
Summoning Station
come to mind. If you end up with more artifact tokens, you can use them with things like
Krark-Clan Ironworks
and
Kuldotha Forgemaster
. Also help with things like
Dispatch
.
Annnnnd one more suggestion if I haven't overstayed my welcome. Funny things can happen in token decks that put out a lot of creatures when you play
The Great Aurora
. Usually gives you a much stronger board state than opponents - might want to have a safety
Reliquary Tower
in for that hand size though!
Sorry if I doubled up on anything you had already considered!

First off, you'll want a couple more lands, commander when you can't play anything sucks
A quick note: The commander you have chosen gives you the ability to run a lot more colorless "utility" lands, some fun ones are: Arch of Orazca Blighted Steppe Buried Ruin etc.
I think you'll want some card draw and some more removal as well as any ramp you can get. Here are some budget options for each:
(Note: most of these are not auto-includes, with you needing to build the deck into them a little, except for ramp, just take some and go)
Card Draw Mentor of the Meek (if it fits with the other cards), Bygone Bishop??, Monarch cards like Palace Jailer will be easier for bushido to defend netting you extra cards per turn, but drawing fire from opponents
Removal Generous Gift, Settle the Wreckage, Day of Judgment, Dusk(most of your creatures duck the board wipe), Urza's Ruinous Blast, Slaughter the Strong, Harsh Mercy (Look at this one if nothing else)
Ramp Sol Ring (I hate that this is a card that goes in any deck, but it pairs really nicely well with your commander's ability), Solemn Simulacrum, Oketra's Monument, Knight of the White Orchid, Marble Diamond, Heraldic Banner, Caged Sun is cool, Kor Cartographer, Gold Myr
Other interesting stuff: Mirror Entity could be fun and interesting, Irregular Cohort really helps pump your samurai numbers, Brave the Elements pairs with all the white critters, Reveillark can get two of your samurai back or be a flying body if needed, Thalia's Lancers can go get an important legendary cards you want, I think Eidolon of Rhetoric may be interesting, maybe good, maybe not, Elspeth, Undaunted Hero's Ultimate is maybe achievable with so many blockers and potential very big with all of your white pips, Heliod, God of the Sun, Changeling Hero
