Deck overview

This deck is a high-powered Esper Reanimator and Control list piloted by Tymna the Weaver and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces. The primary strategy accelerates into an early graveyard setup via Buried Alive, Entomb effects, or direct tutors, quickly reanimating oppressive Praetors such as Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur or Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite as early as Turn 3 or 4. Sakashima bypasses the legend rule, allowing the pilot to duplicate these massive threats alongside Tymna's combat card draw engine. Once an asymmetric lock is established—stripping opposing hands or clearing creature boards—the deck closes the game rapidly across two combat rounds using Blade of Selves, Kokusho death triggers, and overwhelming combat power. It protects its proactive turns with Grand Abolisher, split second spells via Samut, and a premier suite of free countermagic and exile removal.
