Esper Dance built with rouges in mind. Rouges likes to stick a low cost rouge early game and then shut their opponent down by countering everything they do the rest of the game. This deck aims to win the counter war utilizing Duress + Elspeth's Nightmare + Mystical Dispute . We also have Aphemia, the Cacophony as an early creature we can stick putting them on the defensive. Win con can be achieved in a number of ways, Sticking an Archon of Sun's Grace is usually enough to win, especially if you can Dance of the Manse for even 3 next turn. Dream Trawler, Shark Typhoon, and even the tokens from Doom Foretold can be win cons as well. In most matchups this deck looks to deny the opponent resources and card advantage until you can profitably resolve one of your major threats and finish the game.
