Scheming Shadows

The "Scheming Shadows" deck is an Esper (White-Blue-Black) midrange-control deck in the Standard format. Its primary strategy is to disrupt the opponent's game plan while developing a strong board presence. Key cards like Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and Esper Sentinel provide tax effects that slow down opposing spells, while Spell Queller and Skyclave Apparition offer versatile answers to threats.

The deck employs a set of counterspells, such as Disdainful Stroke and Make Disappear, to handle key opposing plays. It leverages The Wandering Emperor for both board control and as a win condition with its ability to create Samurai tokens and exile threats.

Luminarch Aspirant and Elite Spellbinder ensure continuous pressure and disruption,
