And this is pretty much an exact replica that also won a premier event.

Pithing needle sucks. Let me know if you find an answer.

Ral Zarek is sweet, but rarely can you plan around his ult.

@Alan: Absolutely. Since these videos I’ve been playing a couple Slaughter Games in the board instead of Counterflux and Rakdos’s Return. Sometimes it’s a complete whiff, but since it’s basically the only thing in the format that actually deals with Aetherling, it’s generally worth it.

Though honestly, I think I’m taking them out of my board and trying other things. Slaughter Games is fine, but I hate tapping out for it and then they resolve Jace and still have Nightveil Specters and Precinct Captains to win (which are slightly problematic after board since I lose removal – I’ve taken to boarding in a couple Mizzium Mortars for this matchup).

That said, it’s hard to go wrong in this matchup since you outplaneswalker them pretty handily. Losing to Esper is much harder than I thought it would be.

I feel that rtr grixis would be a really good matchup for rtr esper in that sense.
