Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a mono-white ETB/blink value deck built around Monk Gyatso as a repeatable airbend engine. The core plan is to use Gyatso to exile your own creatures whenever they are targeted, then recast them from exile for {2}, re-triggering enters-the-battlefield effects. The deck generates wide token armies through Aang, Airbending Master, Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward, God-Eternal Oketra, Oketra's Monument, Murmuration, and Defiler of Faith, while drawing incremental cards with Wall of Omens, Helpful Hunter, and Solemn Simulacrum. Its highest ceiling is an infinite-cast loop using Nomads en-Kor as a free targeting outlet, two cost reducers to make the exile-cast cost zero, and payoffs like Blasting Station or Altar of the Brood. Fallback wins come from flying lifelink beats, dungeon/value accrual, and a resilient token board.
