How It Feels to Play Control in 2024

Today's video is a stream highlight from when we played Esper Control in Standard, Dropping Memory Deluges and Wandering Emperors in Favor of Intimidation Campaign and Void Rends, For long-term playability reasons.
I will say I think Intimidation Campaign is legit, at least for current standard, I wont be surprised if control goes Esper post-rotation.

Algorithm Stuffs:
Magic: The Gathering (colloquially known as Magic or MTG) is a tabletop and digital collectible card game created by Richard Garfield.[1] Released in 1993 by Wizards of the Coast, Magic was the first trading card game and had approximately fifty million players as of February 2023.[2][3][4][5] Over twenty billion Magic cards were produced in the period from 2008 to 2016, during which time it grew in popularity.[6][7] As of the 2022 fiscal year, Magic generates over $1 billion in revenue annually.[5][8]
Players in a game of Magic represent powerful, dueling wizards called Planeswalkers. Each card a player draws from their deck represents a magical spell which can be used to their advantage in battle. Instant and Sorcery cards represent magical spells a player may cast for a one-time effect, while Creature, Artifact, and Enchantment cards remain on the Battlefield to provide long-term advantage. Additionally, players must include resource, or Land cards representing the amount of magic that is available to cast their spells. Typically, a player defeats their opponent(s) by reducing their life totals to zero, which is commonly done via combat damage, or attacking with creatures. Many other sources of damage exist in the game, however, in addition to alternative win-conditions which do not check life totals.
Although the original concept of the game drew heavily from the motifs of traditional fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, the gameplay bears little similarity to tabletop role-playing games, while simultaneously having substantially more cards and more complex rules than many other card games.
Magic can be played by two or more players, either in person with paper cards or on a computer, smartphone or tablet with virtual cards through Internet-based software such as Magic: The Gathering Online, Magic: The Gathering Arena, Magic Duels and several others. It can be played in various rule formats, which fall into two categories: constructed and limited. Limited formats involve players building a deck spontaneously out of a pool of random cards with a minimum deck size of 40 cards;[9] in constructed formats, players create decks from cards they own, usually with a minimum of 60 cards per deck.
New cards are released on a regular basis through expansion sets. Further developments include the Wizards Play Network played at the international level and the worldwide community Players Tour, as well as a substantial resale market for Magic cards. Certain cards can be valuable due to their rarity in production and utility in gameplay, with prices ranging from a few cents to tens of thousands of dollars.

Finally I find a real f2p player. Even though I sometimes buy the pre-order mastery, I never spend wild rare card on something that will rotate out in 3-4 months, or something that you can replace. I even rarely craft all 4 copies of a card, unless it’s a card that cannot be replaced and are crucial.

[@BuiderInHGK]

Void Rent also rotates out with bloomborrow since its a New Cappenna Card

[@BounceM4NMagic]

Yeah, but I somehow opened three of them in OTJ, so I might as well use’em.

[@BuiderInHGK]

@@BounceM4NMagic Fair Enough, was just a FYI cause you said you didnt wanna waste the Wild Cards so it would have been sad if you have redeemed them for Void Rend only to wonder why they werent legal anyone come Bloomburrow
