Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck executes a low-curve Dimir tempo and Voltron combat strategy led by Basim Ibn Ishaq. Basim provides early unblockable attacks, steady card advantage from historic spells, and grows whenever he connects. The primary game plan is to suit up Basim or complementary Assassins with powerful Equipment like Excalibur, Sword of Eden, Sword of Feast and Famine, and Mjolnir, Storm Hammer to pressure life totals and leverage Freerunning spells. Secondary win conditions involve drawing large volumes of cards to drain the table with Psychosis Crawler or going wide with evasive Assassin and Faerie tokens.
