Deck overview

This deck is an Esper Spellslinger Control deck commanded by Saruman of Many Colors. The strategy focuses on casting two spells per turn to trigger powerful value engines, steal high-impact spells from opponents' graveyards, and dominate the game through resource disparity. Early turns focus on mana acceleration and filtering draws with cheap cantrips like Brainstorm and Preordain. Once Saruman hits the battlefield, the deck leverages efficient instant-speed interaction and free spells to trigger Saruman on both your turn and opponents' turns. Stolen spells, Demon tokens generated by Tasha, the Witch Queen, and copied spells from Storm of Saruman form a wide, formidable board. The deck protects its game plan with free and low-cost countermagic while steadily grinding down opponents' life totals through combat.
