If a noncreature spell was already cast by an opponent the turn Esper Sentinel enters the battlefield, that opponent already cast their first noncreature spell this turn, and Esper Sentinel’s ability won’t trigger for that opponent that turn.

This ability checks Esper Sentinel’s power when it resolves, not when the ability goes on the stack. If Esper Sentinel is no longer on the battlefield when it resolves, use the power it had the last time it was on the battlefield.

If Esper Sentinel’s has negative power when this ability resolves, then {X} is {0}. The opponent may still choose not to pay the cost if they want you to draw a card.
Esper Sentinel, a card from Modern Horizons 2, has become incredibly popular in Magic: The Gathering across various formats due to its exceptional card draw abilities in the typically card-draw-limited white color.
It’s especially valued in Commander, where it’s considered a mini version of the famous Rhystic Study. Many white Commander decks, including competitive ones (cEDH), include Esper Sentinel because of its efficient card draw. Some decks with +1/+1 counter strategies or Death & Taxes themes find additional synergy with this Human Soldier card, and its artifact nature makes it compatible with certain Commanders like Oswald Fiddlebender.

Esper Sentinel – MTG Modern Horizons 2
Esper Sentinel is a rare artifact creature card from Magic: The Gathering's Modern Horizons 2 set. For a casting cost of {W}, it is a 1/1 Human Soldier with the following ability: "Whenever an opponent casts their first noncreature spell each turn, draw a card unless that player pays {X}, where X is Esper Sentinel's power." This card is highly valued for its ability to tax opponents' noncreature spells and generate card advantage, making it a staple in various formats, especially in Commander.
Tip:
To maximize the effectiveness of Esper Sentinel, consider increasing its power through equipment, auras, or +1/+1 counters. Enhancing its power raises the tax opponents must pay to prevent you from drawing cards, thereby increasing the likelihood of gaining card advantage. Additionally, since the ability triggers on each opponent's first noncreature spell each turn, it is particularly potent in multiplayer formats where multiple opponents may cast such spells during a single round.Cards that Synergize with Esper Sentinel:
Steel Overseer
A creature that can tap to put a +1/+1 counter on each artifact creature you control, including Esper Sentinel, thereby increasing its power and the tax imposed on opponents.
Puresteel Paladin
Provides card draw when you cast equipment spells and grants equip cost reduction under certain conditions, facilitating the enhancement of Esper Sentinel's power with equipment.
Sigarda's Aid
An enchantment that allows you to cast aura and equipment spells as though they had flash and equips equipment automatically upon entering the battlefield, enabling instant-speed power boosts for Esper Sentinel.
Battle Mastery
An aura that grants double strike to the enchanted creature, effectively doubling Esper Sentinel's combat damage and increasing its threat level while also boosting its power for taxing purposes.
