Vintage Magic — Esper Wizards vs. Izzet Drakes
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 2019-02-19

Inspired by Ross Merriam's success with Drakes in Modern, I decided to port it over to Vintage. With access to powerful discard and draw cards like Wheel of Fortune and Windfall, getting a Drake that can one-shot a player seems more viable than should ever be.

Here's the Esper Wizards list, which is in dire need of updating:
Artifacts (6)
1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Pearl
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Sapphire
Creatures (22)
1 Aven Mindcensor
1 Cursecatcher

1 Magus of the Unseen
1 Master of Waves
1 Meddling Mage
1 Mistcaller
1 Patron Wizard
4 Snapcaster Mage
1 Sower of Temptations

4 Vedalken Aethermage

Instants (11)
1 Ancestral Recall
4 Force of Will
2 Mana Drain
3 Swords to Plowshares
1 Vampiric Tutor

1 Demonic Tutor
1 Time Walk
Lands (19)
4 Cavern of Souls
3 Flooded Strand
1 Island
3 Polluted Delta
