Deck overview

This deck is an Esper midrange control strategy built around Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign. The primary game plan accelerates mana on Turns 1 through 3 to deploy Yennett on Turn 4. By leveraging topdeck manipulation tools such as Sensei's Divining Top, Brainstorm, and Brainsurge, the deck sets up odd-cost game-ending bombs on top of the library. On Turn 5, Yennett attacks to cheat these massive spells into play for free. High-impact payoffs like Void Winnower, Toxrill, the Corrosive, Valgavoth, Terror Eater, and Breach the Multiverse lock down opposing game actions, wipe opposing creature boards, and generate overwhelming card and board advantage. A robust suite of targeted removal and asymmetric sweepers keeps opponents in check while massive flying and Eldrazi threats close out the game through combat over two table cycles.
