Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is an Esper (WUB) combat deck helmed by Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima, built around the lone-attacker game plan. Jin's combat-damage trigger draws cards, and his attack trigger grants a solo attacker double strike or unblockable, making him the ideal carrier for a dense equipment package. The deck accelerates with fast mana (Chrome Mox, Mox Diamond, Lotus Petal, Mana Vault, Sol Ring, Dark Ritual, Ancient Tomb) and a deep tutor suite to assemble a suited-up Jin wielding Colossus Hammer, Excalibur, Sword of Eden, or Buster Sword, chaining extra combats via Genji Glove and extra turns via Medomai the Ageless. Secondary lines include infect kills with Phyresis on a huge attacker, ninjutsu value from Fallen Shinobi and Nashi, Moon Sage's Scion, and a stax/draw backbone of Rhystic Study, Mystic Remora, Esper Sentinel, Smothering Tithe, and Orcish Bowmasters. The deck wins through overwhelming combat inevitability backed by free interaction and turn-protection effects.
