Pretty much a cool Esper sacrifice deck. Our goal is generally to win the classic aristocrats way, and the fact that we have a death trigger draw engine in the command zone helps us greatly. One may ask, why not just use Korvold, Fae-Cursed King? Isn't he just better? To that, I say that you're absolutely correct, but screw that card. He makes things too easy. Plus we get counterspells and clones, as well as the best interaction suite period. The clones are especially valuable as they're very easy to get out with Bane. As far as counter play goes, depending on the board state, your opponent choosing to let you cheat something in may be the best option for them. Why? It's a bit harder to line up Bane's other option well, and I chose not to lean into it since our opponent's get to choose. So in some games, Bane could get your hand exhausted, and he won't be able to draw more. Them's the breaks. Of course, politicking changes all of this, so make use of that! Good luck, and feel free to leave suggestions.
