I’d have to agree with everything you said here. Recently played it in a port and felt very well positioned

Also esper control is great right now.

Although for some reason esper players refuuuuuse to just update the damn deck. But yeah

Affinity is more sketchy, but the deck can run Kataki or Stony Silence in the sideboard, and we have both flyers and colorless blockers if we can make it past the early game. Jeskai Tempo is probably the sketchiest, but we have game if we draw enough gas to grind through their removal. Threats like Dark Confidant and Eldrazi Displacer that take over the game if they don’t go answered, as well as hand hate like TKS and Tidehollow Skuller help in that department. Also, 4 Aether Vials.

I’d say probably the biggest weakness of the deck is it that it sometimes just loses trying to play what’s essentially a 3 color deck without fetches, 10-12 single color (or colorless) lands, and very little in the way of filtering or cantrips.
