hey, so I have been off the salvation sites for a while, but been chugging away at relearning my esper roots after a long time on the jeskai train, made a esper miracles and went 5-0 in my first league, it is the power of terminus in a esper shell
I plan to run it thru a few more leagues and refine the list some but overall it felt pretty solid
The list is pretty good, and since I switched to jeskai I have been enjoying. Having gearhulk as. Solid body plus spell so I can see it being prime in our list cause free charms are the *****.
I love the list, double gearhulk zero secure seems off but perhaps it’s a evolution of the list, not to sure but willing to test the list out.
And discuss.......

So I h e had about 2 and a half leagues worth of play through with The list Mout 4-2’ed the challenge with and I must say I have evoked the play patterns and the Gideon/walker package in most games. My only changes were to the secure going back to wsz because it’s my pet card and I still love it as a late game trump vs the normal versions of Tron which are climbing back up in popularity.
I also added a runed halo to the sb over the third thoughtseize as I love having such a clean catchall to things.
I managed to grab a 5-0 with it and was hoping we would get posted but alas need to grab another to get it up.
I tend to agree scapeshift is not that scary of a matchup, it's akin to classic to classic non eldrazi in that it can be dicey if you draw the wrong half of the deck at wrong time but post board their a dog to our sb power.
I tend to use ambush vipers only when I feel the need to apply pressure To try and take out a premium two drop they have attacked with, aka bob or scooze or something but more often then not I hold the snap to get value. Playing three snaps also adds a bIt if insurance in using the first one as a pressure cooker instead of only value.
Ya I hadn't him in chat a few weeks back he mentioned he was bogged down with work so hopefully it lets up soon, gonna be a great fall I think with opt being a much needed tool.
Also enjoyed a great match this afternoon against ari lax, he was playing amulet which I hate as a deck just cause it has way to many triggers and such ok modo for my liking but g1 he got when I drew lots of mana and then no counters.
G2 I open with 6 lands esper charm and proceed to see 5-6 more lands after a snap charm and finally get enough stuff to battle when the dudes come, he had me scared when I had a cryptic and logic with 6 mana he resolved a green pact and found ruric thar and had the cavern to go along with it, proceeded to rip a verdict like a boss. It was then a long slog fest with him resolving a titan and a thragtusk and I had to cryptic chain for a couple turns into Verdi and then rev for 7 and then 8 to stay alive but he eventually ran out of threats and scooped with a minute and half on clock, G3 I push his t3 tireless tracker into cryptic cryptic time out, it was super satisfying to beat name players even if it's only on modo.
I'll be streaming this weekend, I might try and do an earlier stream Saturday perhaps in the morning if I skip my normal late night stream, perhaps even fit in the modern challenge for once? We shall see.
