Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Baba Lysaga, Night Witch is a sacrifice-value drain deck built around the commander's tap ability: sacrifice three permanents of three different card types to drain 3 life from each opponent, gain 3 life, and draw three cards. The deck's core challenge is generating diverse permanent types - creatures, artifacts, enchantments, lands, planeswalkers, and battles - and converting them into repeatable table-wide drain. Key enablers like Ashaya, Soul of the Wild (nontoken creatures become Forests), Ygra, Eater of All (creatures become Food artifacts), and Liquimetal Torque (any permanent becomes an artifact) make the three-type check trivially easy. The primary win is cumulative life loss from Baba plus drain multipliers: Enduring Tenacity, Psychosis Crawler, Marionette Apprentice, The Meathook Massacre, Kokusho, the Evening Star, and Funeral Room. A secondary infinite-mana line via Argothian Elder + Ashaya feeds a huge Meathook or Pest Infestation. The deck is a grindy, recursion-heavy value engine that wins through attrition.
