Deck overview

This is an Esper "noncreature spells matter" control/value deck built around Y'shtola, Night's Blessed. The plan is to deploy Y'shtola, then use every 3-plus-mana instant, sorcery, or enchantment to drain the table, gain life, and turn on her end-step draw. The deck surrounds her with redundant payoffs-Papalymo Totolymo, G'raha Tia, Scion Reborn, and Hermes, Overseer of Elpis-that convert noncreature spells into damage, Hero/Moogle/Bird tokens, or recursion. It aims to grind into a critical mass and close through Aetherflux Reservoir, a large Exsanguinate, or a "Full Party" token swing boosted by Champions from Beyond. There is no fast infinite combo; the deck relies on card advantage, removal, and board protection to outlast opponents before finishing on one big turn.
