Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Queza, Augur of Agonies leads an Esper combo and life-drain deck centered on weaponizing card draw and lifegain triggers. The primary strategy builds mana and card advantage through engines like Rhystic Study and Teferi's Ageless Insight before executing one of several lethal combo finishes. Key win conditions include resolving Peer into the Abyss with Queza or Psychosis Crawler to drain the table in one shot, pairing Exquisite Blood with life-drain permanents like Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose for an infinite loop, or exiling the library with Leveler into Thassa's Oracle. The deck also threatens a Bolas's Citadel and Sensei's Divining Top storm win.
