Chainsmoker Cat - Terminal Stage 3 by Boxer29

Format: Commander

Commander: Y'shtola, Night's Blessed

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Y'shtola, Night's Blessed is an Esper noncreature-spell control deck. The primary plan is to cast Y'shtola early, then chain three-plus-mana noncreature spells; each one deals 2 damage to every opponent and gains life, and the end-step draw trigger replaces the chain. Secondary amplifiers (Papalymo Totolymo, Mai, Circle of Power wizard tokens) convert one spell into multiple damage points. The deck also carries a compact infinite-mana combo with Valley Floodcaller, Retraction Helix, and Sol Ring, finished by Exsanguinate, and a heavy stack of counterspells and universal removal to protect the window. No hidden commander: the 99 is built to make Y'shtola trigger as often as possible.
