Deck overview

This deck is an Esper control build centered around Tivit, Seller of Secrets, constructed under a strict courtroom and litigation theme. It abandons typical high-power combo lines in favor of thematic courtroom flavor, utilizing cards like Rule of Law, Supreme Verdict, and Council's Judgment to police the table. The strategy focuses on establishing early land drops and deploying defensive interaction to survive into the mid game. On Turn 6, the deck resolves Tivit, instantly generating a burst of Clues and Treasures that fuel continuous card advantage and mana stability. With Tivit in play, the deck transitions into an evasive combat clock, dealing 6 flying commander damage each turn while holding up efficient countermagic such as Stubborn Denial and An Offer You Can't Refuse. Enhancements like True Conviction and Armed with Proof accelerate the damage clock, enabling methodical, sequential eliminations across the table while maintaining control over opposing board states.
