Y’shtola[3] by Jayzis

Format: Commander

Commander: Y'shtola, Night's Blessed

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an Esper control/combo deck built around Y'shtola, Night's Blessed. The primary plan is to resolve 3-plus-mana noncreature spells to drain 2 life from each opponent, gain life, and turn Y'shtola's end-step trigger into extra cards. The secondary plan is a compact flicker loop: Archaeomancer returns Ghostly Flicker while Peregrine Drake untaps five lands, and Y'shtola converts each recast into 2 damage to everyone. Graveyard recursion, flexible tutors, and cheap removal keep the deck resilient, while Propaganda and Ghostly Prison slow opposing boards. There is no double-faced or hidden commander in the list; the deck is built around Y'shtola.
