Deck overview

This deck is an Esper battlecruiser and attrition strategy commanded by Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign. The primary game plan revolves around accelerating mana in the opening turns, deploying Yennett on Turn 4, and utilizing topdeck manipulation tools such as Sensei's Divining Top, Brainstorm, and Penance to ensure an odd-cost bomb sits atop the library. On Turn 5, Yennett attacks to cheat devastating high-mana spells into play for free, including asymmetric locks like Void Winnower, creature wipes like Toxrill, the Corrosive, and massive reanimation swings like Breach the Multiverse. Supported by efficient Esper interaction, counterspells, and protective cards like Clever Concealment, the deck controls the flow of the game while building an overwhelming flying army to eliminate opponents over two combat rotations by Turn 7.
