1:31:47 what they did was stifle the conjure ability part since there are 2 abilities of the djinn at the time. So basically choice between letting you draw or adding another djinn to the deck. Not sure if it is right in general but not the worst idea... if they could keep it up it could stop them from ever coming back or getting more in your deck. Unfortunately for them you were able to cycle 3 by t4

Satisfying to see the UR wizard deck get stomped by spot removal. It's such a popular deck right now, and it does totally stomp other aggro decks like Goblins and Elves, but it's so, so bad against decks with decent interaction. Frankly, the more I see of this format, the more I think the right place to be is a deck like this esper one - there's just SO much non-interactive aggro or combo decks running around that I think a pretty safe take all comers deck would be an interactive fair deck with spot removal and counterspells. I would opt for Sultai over Esper, though, for the better permanent removal.

This deck is so sweet, was looking for a playable esper list and this seems quite good :)

[crushedscouter]

[HTXVintageVibes]

Wish I could have a variant of this now.

Holy shit game three was so fucking tense. You also could’ve just tapped the hall for two turns right?

[ГеоргиГеоргиев-рз]

Gab kinda threw that omg, he couldve void rend the hall cause it is uncounterable in the last game, so sad

[djestr]

Bro I find your literal presentation very upsetting how not only you have esper in you title but also magic in your intro, I feel disturbed

[hectorluis]

You lost the game cause you blocked the hall you could have done void ren on the hall and the ward would have been nullified by the spells cant be countered ability and blacked the shark
