Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a Temur "cast from exile" Paradox value deck helmed by The Thirteenth Doctor and Yasmin Khan. The engine is elegant: Yasmin's {T} exiles the top card (playable until your next end step), casting from exile triggers Paradox to put +1/+1 counters on creatures, and Team TARDIS untaps every creature with a counter at your end step - letting Yasmin tap again and again. The 99 is packed with redundant exile-cast enablers (Eruth, Tormented Prophet, Charred Foyer, Count on Luck, Stolen Strategy, Fortune Teller's Talent, Chimil, the Inner Sun) and Paradox payoffs (Flaming Tyrannosaurus, Iraxxa, Empress of Mars, Sisterhood of Karn, The Lost and the Damned). The deck wins through combat: token armies from The Lost and the Damned, Iraxxa, Empress of Mars, and Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald, backed by cascade beaters like Maelstrom Wanderer, Etali, Primal Storm, and Quandrix, the Proof, with Flaming Tyrannosaurus' death trigger as a burst finisher. There are no infinite combos - this is a value-and-pressure deck that grinds into a lethal board.
