Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir commands an Esper Knight typal deck fusing aggressive combat pressure with resilient graveyard recursion. Eminence provides card filtering every time a Knight attacks, filling the graveyard directly from the command zone without requiring mana. The primary strategy builds a lethal board using synergistic threats such as Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Vodalian Wave-Knight, and Kinsbaile Cavalier, closing games through mass evasion and pump spells like Moonshaker Cavalry and Akroma's Will. Alternatively, the deck pivots into an infinite sacrifice combo by looping Haakon, Stromgald Scourge, Phyrexian Altar, and a one-mana Knight to drain the table with Corpse Knight or Syr Konrad, the Grim.
