Yennett, spoiled secret lair by kiotakahn

Format: Commander

Commander: Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign is an odd-mana-value cheat engine. The deck stacks the top of the library with Soothsaying, Sensei's Divining Top, Brainstorm and Ponder, then attacks with Yennett to cast big odd spells for free or draw a card. Approach of the Second Sun is the only dedicated finisher and needs to be cast twice, with the first copy going seven cards deep. Secondary paths grind with flying Sphinxes, Toxrill, the Corrosive and Void Winnower, or steal value with Thief of Sanity, Dazzling Sphinx and Breach the Multiverse. Yennett is the primary engine; Toxrill acts as a hidden commander for a slow board lock.
