After seeing a deck with Muldrotha in the mtgo 5-0 decklists, I had to try it (with a few changes that included Phyrexian Scriptures instead of Bontu's last Reckoning (don't do that!)). A smooth 3-0 later, I felt the deck was better than I expected. My last two rounds with the deck was captured on the local stream at 1:04 and 2:04.
Corey Baumeister demonstrates a different Muldrotha Sultai Reanimator deck here. I only watched the first round, but it looked good and Corey really explains the lines well.
I’ve been trying to figure out a way to make Esper work as I really want to smash Lyra and Shalai into a deck with TSG and Lilly. Gonna go through a league or two today and see if I can put it all together.

Yeah. The latest league dump (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/tournament/competitive-standard-league-2018-05-21#paper) has some very interesting Sultai and Esper decks.
I've actually brewed 4 color (no red) on the theory that Urza's Ruinous Blast could be good. Fortunately, I have been saved from playing it by using a shared collection with limited Scattered Groves. On the unlikely event that the mana works, it will probably run into the fact that the best cards in standard don't get hit by the Blast.
Edit: SaffronOlive goes deep on Muldrotha. Benefaction of Rhonas! The non-budget version is interesting to me, although I tend to think of Muldrotha as a value card more than a buildaround. The synergies between Muldrotha and Walking Ballista are intriguing.
I did 4-1 at FNM last night with Esper reanimator. I think the list needs tuning but after the latest deck dumps the flex spots should solidify. Edit: Adding decklist.
Urza’s ruinous blast is an excellent sideboard card against enchantment based removal. And G/B constrictor. They only play rishkar and maybe Vraska.
Of note, the only person who beat me was an Esper Control list in which game 1 I drew 10 lands in a row. And game 3 I drew zero lands on a 3 land opener.

Edit:You play at Geek Fortress? I’ve watched their stream a couple times. Seems like a rad shop.
I tried BR Aggro last night and it was super solid, but not really my cup of tea. I plan to come back to something like this.
