This is my attempt at an Esper EDH deck that tries to play similarly to Stoneblade. I usually tend to play fast, aggressive decks so this is a little bit out of my wheelhouse.

The main idea is to cast valuable or hard to kill creatures and tokens that can carry swords and get in for incremental damage. While this is happening I have some control elements to keep me from dying or other players from comboing out.

There are also a few combos that I can assemble if need be, but the cards carry merit as individuals.

Combos that create infinite ETB and LTB triggers...
1. Sculpting Steel or Phyrexian Metamorph + Sharuum the Hegemon
Abusable cards...
1. Grave Pact
2.

To create infinite tokens and then take infinite turns...
Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek + Time Sieve

Typical 'lark combo shenanigans...
Reveillark + Karmic Guide + Ashnod's Altar
Abusable creatures...
1. Baleful Strix
2. Pestermite
3. Phyrexian Metamorph
4. Stoneforge Mystic

Trinket Mage Package:
1. Skullclamp
2. Sol Ring
3. Sensei's Divining Top
4. Ancient Den, Seat of the Synod, Vault of Whispers

Any feedback or constructed criticism on the deck is greatly appreciated.
