I wrote this guide for Esper Charm:

It should help.

How do you utilize the Gideon Jura correctly...?

I may be rather off on this point but Fatal Push is not better than Path to Exile. Path to Exile kills anything, whereas fatal push only kills at best creatures with converted mana cost 4 or less. Though Path to Exile does give your opponent a basic land this advantage almost never makes a difference. It also does not need revolt late-game to be effective.

hunkers, a deck with Path to Exile can still utilise Fatal Push in the same way as one might utilise Lightning Bolt (but a bit less, because Push doesn't go to the dome). I'll put it this way, 7-8 turn 1 kill spells are better than 4, and also, you can Fatal Push a Birds of Paradise, but you won't Path to Exile it.

I didn't mean to say that all Fatal Pushs should be taken out. Just 1 for a 4th Path to Exile.

Absolutely. The number of Path to Exile should be 4 in any control/midgame deck running white in Modern.

What mode do you choose most often for Esper Charm? Like, what factors make you decide draw v discard?
