Deck overview

This Esper flash aikido deck wants to play draw-go and punish opponents for attacking. It holds up instant-speed interaction and flash creatures, draws extra cards on opponents' turns with Slitherwisp, Nymris, Wavebreak Hippocamp and Faerie Mastermind, and redirects or nullifies combat with Inkshield, Comeuppance, Selfless Squire, Reins of Power, Windshaper Planetar and Portal Manipulator. Chromium, the Mutable is an uncounterable flash finisher that dodges removal with hexproof, but the deck does not need it to function. Hullbreaker Horror provides a late-game bounce engine that can loop Sol Ring for infinite mana, but the list has no direct outlet, so wins come from incremental combat, Inkshield tokens, and stealing opponents' boards.
