Thanks Everyone! —Sept. 23, 2018
Oh shoot! Rank #18 on 2018-09-21. Didn't see that coming. Thanks everyone and happy brewing!
Vhysere: Not a fan of dampening sphere as a card. I think its more of a modern SB card than a standard one. Detection tower was on my radar but the mana is greedy enough as is and I wanted a field of ruin as the only colorless land at the minimum. Big fan of Unmoored Ego and similar effects, especially vs carnage tyrant and teferi control mirrors. The card however was not spoiled when the list was initially updated.

Blue_XIII : Thanks for answer.
In my Esper Deck post rotation, Here are the differences :
-1 Detection Tower (side card) -1 Cast Down (Many legendary creature in GRN) -1 Ritual of Soot
+1 Evolving wilds +1 Murder +1 Settle the Wreckage

Hi Blue_XIII, Similarly I have always found esper to be my preferred color combination, but my playgroup always hated the how I always play control. So to change this I made a (very) Jank combo deck. That's still in esper colors I haven't fully upgraded it to GRN standard, and since you seem to be an expert in esper I was wondering if you would take a look. Lich's Nexus (Rotation proof). +1 from me

The next round of shocklands should make this mana base very smooth, but painful with 8-12 shocks, Lyra Dawnbringer seems even more important at that point, maybe even some amount maindeck so that aggro doesn't get under you too quickly in game 1 and it can just be discarded if it's ever dead. I'm building grixis and I'm worried about that myself, stabilizing seems tough against red decks and stompy, especially without the backup of Settle the Wreckage. Your list looks strong, good luck with it!
