Y'shtola 2.0 by hdanner

Format: Commander

Commander: Y'shtola, Night's Blessed

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Y'shtola, Night's Blessed is the deck's engine: every noncreature spell with mana value 3 or greater drains 2 life from each opponent and gains 2 life, while her end-step trigger turns that life loss into card draw. The primary plan is to slow the game with counterspells, spot removal, and prison pieces, then assemble Exquisite Blood with Sanguine Bond, Vito, or Enduring Tenacity; casting the second enchantment triggers Y'shtola's drain and starts an infinite life-loss loop. Secondary paths are commander burn over several turns, Wizard-token triggers from Transpose/Circle of Power, and a large Exsanguinate. There is no hidden commander; Emeritus of Woe's back face is the Demonic Tutor side.
