Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Noctis, Prince of Lucis leads an Esper artifact-value deck that grinds through the graveyard. You cast cheap artifacts, sacrifice them for cards, then recast them from the graveyard with Noctis by paying 3 life, building a board of Thopters and utility creatures while gaining life. The primary win is Aetherflux Reservoir storm, often set up by Bolas's Citadel to cast many spells in one turn and pay 50 life repeatedly. Secondary paths include Marionette Master draining opponents when artifacts die, Magister Sphinx setting a life total to 10 for a kill, and combat with Sai tokens. Noctis is the recursion engine; Bolas's Citadel acts as the hidden engine that turns the top of the library into a storm outlet.
