The New Esper














Recent Posts





Hey there MTG Fans!! We here at MTG The Journey want to wish you a Happy New Year! And we want to give you some presents! A new decklist we've brewed up over the holidays!! It started off as our standard Orzhov deck, but we realized we needed to deviate just a little bit from the norm and try something that didn't revolve around devotion. We still wanted to use some of Chuck's favorite cards, Obzedat, Ghost Council and Blood Baron of Vizkopa.

It's an Esper deck, but not the Esper control list you've come to know and love, it revolves heavily around Humans and Xathrid Necromancer, and has a ton of interaction with lots of decks!

We call it, The New Esper
