So I had a lot of fun with sun titan back in the day, so bishop of rebirth is very appealing to me, i want to build a deck around him, I want to recreate that great feeling I got playing Solar flare. So I want to build an esper control deck with recusion, heres the spell list I have. I am not a control player, I am an aggro player, so control is weird to me, I need some help building the manabase. I usually play 2 colors so a three color deck is new to me, heres the list I have so far
So it's basically control the early game, Get back Champion of wits and fairgrounds warden with Bishop, then reanimate something disgusting with lily, final parting or if I have baral out Primevals glorious rebirth and get ALL the legendaries. Zetpal seems to be the best reanimator target so I have him as a 3 of.
What should my manabase be for this, I really like checklands I feel like I need a lot of islands to make this work, and the cycle lands could add to this, what is the best possible manabase this could use. how many fatties do i need. I have 4 Champions to put stuff in the yard, (and they can also recur themselves) do I need to buy some Vraskas Contempt I have money I can buy whatever I need. Baral is mainly there because I have a lot of counters and he can put something in the yard and he's the only non revival legendary I have to cast Primeval. That's why primeval is a one of. Recollection is there as a snapcaster substitute, so I can grab a counterspell or kill spell back but I don't think it's that good so I am willing to let that go but if I find room for vraska's contempt that could be awesome.
Am I missing a better reanimate spell? Liliana seems to be the best route to go, because she can fill the yard and make a token to protect her. Dominaria is going to shake things up though, so I don't know how to prepare for it.
I also feel like I'm lacking some dominaria cards what can I put from Dominaria into this? will God pharos still be a thing, because I think some Cast Out could be good in the sideboard
So that's my decklist, I LOVED solar flare in innistrad standard and I feel like I can recreate it.
I'm also afraid of control, I don't know how to handle a control mirror, Duress of course, Kambal, Consul of Allocation comes to mind, I can Rebirth off of him, and he hurts control players so maybe put him in the deck
