MTG Salvation

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a deck that fits my play style. My playgroups are hard to prepare for since all their decks are on opposite sides of the spectrum, but we play limited site multiplayer if that helps any.

I like playing defensive and I wanted to stay within the esper pie. I wouldn't mind mono white or mono black. If not then esper. I love piloting pox if that helps. I am a very big fan of singletons too. I like having "ways out" even if I have to survive for it. I love the battle of attrition and more so love being hard to kill. I want it to be somewhat fair, no infinites, no 1st - 3rd turn kills or lockdowns.

Wow, this is starting to look like a dating website description, but for a magic deck. Anyways,

If anyone has suggestions or recommendations, please feel free to leave any.

One deck idea to consider is some sort of Esper Artifact "Toolbox"-type deck. Here's a prototype of a list that somewhat describes what you're looking for:

(This list is absolutely NOT refined at all, it's just to showcase some of the powerful cards that you could use)



And the below deck is a deck that I found from stalking Prid3's old posts (<3):

Master Transmuter is great fun. If she lives.
(And broken is the wrong/right decks...)

Pox is always fun.



Feel free to add Ensnaring Bridge/Liliana of the Veil if you can afford them. Fetchlands also help for the Delve spells.

Mono-White can be fun too:



But like, it wouldn't be hard to build any deck in any combination of Esper colors.

You could build something like this:



And if you wanted to add White then you obviously could.

You could also build something like:



And you could obv splash Black if you wanted.

For Esper you could build around Thopter Sword and run something like:



Since Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek is such a sick combo.

That Azorius Blink deck is fabulous.

Another fun Esper deck is Auras - perhaps Prid3 can recommend something with Zur the Enchanter?
