Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an Azorius flying-tribal midrange deck helmed by the partner pair Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker and Esior, Wardwing Familiar. The primary plan is to deploy a critical mass of evasive flyers, grow Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker into a massive Voltron threat off multiplayer spellcasting, and close through combat damage backed by anthems and double-strike enablers. Esior, Wardwing Familiar taxes targeted interaction against the command zone, letting Ishai stick and scale. Secondary paths include extra turns from Medomai the Ageless, incremental locks via Strixhaven Stadium, and wide flying boards under Sephara, Sky's Blade or Kangee, Sky Warden. The deck leans on combat damage draw engines and light flicker value rather than dense tutors or infinite mana, playing as a resilient aerial beatdown strategy that pressures life totals while holding up interaction.
