Deck overview

This deck is an Esper artifact-control build centered around Tivit, Seller of Secrets. It uses efficient 2-mana ramp and defensive tools like Blind Obedience, Ghostly Prison, and Propaganda to survive the early game and cast Tivit on Turn 5. Upon entering and attacking, Tivit generates large quantities of Clue and Treasure tokens via Council's dilemma. The deck converts these tokens into overwhelming card advantage and mana acceleration. Its primary win condition is casting Approach of the Second Sun on Turn 6, using banked Clues and cantrips to quickly dig through the remaining library and recast it on Turn 7 for the win. Alternatively, the deck can win by draining the table with Marionette Master or overwhelming opponents with evasive tokens from Alela, Artful Provocateur and Urza's Saga. Backed by a premier suite of instant-speed removal, board wipes, and countermagic, the deck excels at dictating game pace and protecting its critical win turns.
