Format: Commander

Commander: Y'shtola, Night's Blessed

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Y'shtola, Night's Blessed is the engine: every noncreature spell of mana value 3 or greater deals 2 to each opponent and gains life, while the end-step trigger turns 4+ life lost into cards. The deck is a tempo-control drain build that protects the commander with counters and removal, then multiplies the trigger with nonlegendary Y'shtola copies (Helm of the Host, Multiversal Recruitment, Spark Double) and life-drain amplifiers such as Vito. There is no hidden commander: Alisaie and Alphinaud are value tutors, not a second command zone. It wins by grinding down all three opponents with repeated drain triggers and finishing with a large Exsanguinate or a Bolas's Citadel-fueled chain.
