Esper Aggro

Well, it's been a while that the Extended and Standard formats changed. I knew that for T2 I would still be playing UW (Planeswalker)Control but I wasn't sure about extended. My faeries rotated out so now what? I build a Jund with elves and C. Colossus but that is not that interesting. It's similar to my t2 deck from months/years?? ago. So now with Scars of Mirrodin out I decided to try some artifact based deck.

The deck is not finished I still don't know what to add and what is the right mana base. I ran Tidehollow Sculler + Thoughtseize/Inquisition of Kozilek. I was considering to play Turn Aside as this would counter the spell I don't want to see. But looking at my opponents hand and discarding what I don't want to see is better and I love sculler. These disruption spells are good but I'm not really sure about how it will work for the time being I have problems with black mana. Either way there is one more slot for a card and I don't really know what that could be. Now trying COurt Humunculus (yay, it works actually) I want something with CMC < 2 and something that would be able to attack well or do something significant (in that case it would have to cost 1). I ran twenty lands but I find this too much, but playing with the deck will decide the final number.

As I need a source of W/B/U I decided to run a play set of Marsh Flats that gives me either W or B and play set of Seachrome coast. I want the land on turn 1 so it comes untapped (or turn 2). I should get either white in any case and then something else on t2. The artifact spells will take care of the rest.

This deck can be deadly but it can also go wrong quite easily. But well it's nice to have my entire hand in play and attack for a lot on T2 and in T3 having the game practically over. In theory it works now I need to see how it works in reality.

Anyway just a thought for a deck...
