Y'shtola Bracket 3 by user4440000

Format: Commander

Commander: Y'shtola, Night's Blessed

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Y'shtola, Night's Blessed is an Esper control/drain commander. The primary plan is to land Y'shtola, then use mana-value-3-or-greater noncreature spells to deal 2 to each opponent and gain life, while drawing cards from the end-step life-loss trigger. The secondary path is the Exquisite Blood loop with Sanguine Bond, Enduring Tenacity, or Epicure of Blood; any life-loss trigger (usually Y'shtola's own trigger) starts an infinite drain. Queza, Augur of Agonies acts as a hidden commander, turning every draw into life loss/gain. Bolas's Citadel and Black Market Connections provide card advantage and mana, and Bloodletter of Aclazotz doubles all life loss.
