Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Y'shtola, Night's Blessed pilots a slow Esper control/drain deck. The primary plan is to resolve Y'shtola and chain 3+ mana noncreature spells, each becoming a 2-damage drain to every opponent, a life-gain event, and an end-step draw once anyone loses 4 life. Wizard pings from Black Mage's Rod, Circle of Power, and Transpose add one extra table-wide damage per token per spell; kicked Rite of Replication multiplies those pings. Sanguine Bond and Enduring Tenacity amplify life gain, Monastery Mentor is a combat backup, and Papalymo supplies a secondary drain. Alisaie and Alphinaud act as a hidden partner pair in the 99, discounting the second spell and drawing cards. There is no infinite combo; victory is incremental table drain.
