This is an Esper Multiplayer Political/Control deck.

Basically, the idea was to help opponents draw and ramp and cast large spells so that you could steal threats, clone them, and win. they playstyle also promotes opponents to commit to a board state so your wipes and mass bounce spells are very one-sided. I like to counter only win-cons, stax pieces, and spells that prevent the board from developing. Your stax pieces are fine, because they stop pesky ETBs, which you wont get when you steal that creature. It's essentially a very "king-maker" plan that hopefully ends with you being the last player standing.

If all else fails or its getting boring, just tutor for Lavinia, Azorius Renegade and either Omen Machine or Knowledge Pool . That'll usually do it.

Pet Card of the deck is some hot, hot tech! Check out Reveille Squad ! Every time you get attacked, Grandma gets a triggered untap! This politic.dec card will never bee attacking, so its best to this of it as an enchantment that can black in a pinch.

This deck was broken apart because it won, but it was a but un-fun. It is the only Esper deck I've ever built and... well... it wasn't my playstyle. I want to be the guy breaking into the bank, not the camera on the ceiling that just chills and then sends you to jail in a month.
