Deck overview

This deck is an Esper control and battlecruiser strategy built around Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign. The primary goal is to accelerate Yennett onto the battlefield by Turn 3 or 4, manipulate the top of the library, and swing to cheat massive odd-cost spells into play for free. The deck's top-end threats feature game-warping stax engines and game-ending haymakers, including Void Winnower, Expropriate, Breach the Multiverse, and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. A supporting package of topdeck filters such as Sensei's Divining Top, Aminatou, the Fateshifter, and Doom Whisperer ensures that Yennett consistently hits odd-cost cards rather than drawing blanks. Interaction is well-rounded across Esper colors, utilizing spot removal, sweepers, and defensive countermagic to stabilize the board until its overwhelming asymmetric advantages close the game.
