This is an Esper (white-blue-black) reanimator/control Commander deck. Its main plan is to fill the graveyard with looting, surveil, and self-mill effects like Frantic Search, Forbidden Alchemy, Taigam’s Scheming, and Otherworldly Gaze, then cheat big value creatures back into play with Reanimate, Animate Dead, Necromancy, Unburial Rites, and Living Death.

The deck plays a strong spell-heavy control shell, using efficient interaction like Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, Counterspell, and Anguished Unmaking to slow opponents down while setting up. Key reanimation targets and value engines include Sun Titan, Scholar of the Lost Trove, Torrential Gearhulk, Karmic Guide, Doom Whisperer, and Archfiend of Ifnir, which generate recursion, card advantage, or board impact when brought back.
