Bracket: 5

Deck overview

This is a high-powered Esper combo-control deck helmed by The Master of Keys. The primary win condition is the classic Thassa's Oracle + Demonic Consultation/Tainted Pact combo, supported by an extensive tutor suite and fast mana. The commander provides a recursive value engine by granting escape to enchantments, allowing the deck to reuse key pieces like Necropotence and Rhystic Study. The deck also features a dense stack of free counterspells and turn-protection effects to protect its combo turn. Secondary lines include reanimation and enchantment-based control, but the core plan is to assemble the two-card Thoracle kill as early as possible.
