Yshtola but Shark by TenshiJT

Format: Commander

Commander: Y'shtola, Night's Blessed

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Y'shtola, Night's Blessed is an Esper enchantment-copy value engine. The deck's primary plan is to land Y'shtola early, drop high-mana-value noncreature spells to trigger her drain, and multiply the payoff with copy effects such as Extravagant Replication, Court of Vantress, Sakashima, Roaming Throne, and Fractured Realm. Secondary paths are a token-army beatdown finish from copied creatures/enchantments and a recursion plan via Academy Rector, Heliod, Hall of Heliod's Generosity, and Redress Fate. There is no hidden commander in the command zone sense; Heliod, the Warped Eclipse is the closest thing to a hidden secondary engine, but the list is built around Y'shtola's cast trigger and end-step draw condition.
