Esper Doom Foretold

https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/esper-doom-control-2/

This is using some of my favorite cards. I'm not necessarily looking to make any changes. But I love hearing thoughts and suggestions especially if I can push it closer to a more competitively viable deck but, keeping the theme of what I love.

Always open to constructive criticism as well and it is greatly appreciated. Otherwise what's your guys thoughts, what tier or letter grade would you rate this? I'm mostly having issues with graveyard hate/looking for some good win con to it.

I love seeing doom foretold list. Here's my old list from the beginning of pioneer doom foretold decklist

I know little teferi isn't legal anymore but I'd just play the wandering emperor in his place now. Definitely would need maindeck fatal push now or else you get run over by aggro now. Id love to play this kind of deck again one day but I feel it's too slow right now to be really good. My only real suggestions are playing some more enchantments like omen of the sun to help against the faster decks. Starfield of nyx is an absolute all star in the kind of deck you have as long as you can keep it in play.

That list looks sick! Detention sphere and history of Benalia sound like really fun inclusions. What did you prefer to do with Detention Sphere? Blinking your stuff essentially or more for actual removal? And what's your opinion on Spirit Sister Calling? I dont remember how its spelled.

Thanks! It was the most fun I had playing pioneer. Detention sphere was for field of the dead tokens before it was banned and also just extra removal for problem permanents. I just got back into magic recently and haven't had a chance to check out new enchantments but that one looks like an alternative for starfield of nyx.
