Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a theft-and-cast deck helmed by Gonti, Canny Acquisitor, built around exiling opponents' cards and playing them at a discount. Gonti's combat trigger exiles the top card of the damaged player's library for you to cast, and his static ability makes every spell you don't own cost {1} less. The 99 is packed with 20+ theft permanents and spells - Thief of Sanity, Fallen Shinobi, Silent-Blade Oni, Brainstealer Dragon, Mind's Dilation, Hostage Taker, Villainous Wealth, and Heartless Conscription - supported by evasive, unblockable attackers (Slither Blade, Triton Shorestalker, Silhana Ledgewalker, Cold-Eyed Selkie) and cost reducers (Naiad of Hidden Coves, Sage of the Beyond, Savvy Trader). The deck wins through incremental combat damage and overwhelming stolen-board advantage, with big X-spells and mass-theft effects as finishers.
