Deck overview

This deck is an Esper control and cheat strategy commanded by Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign. The primary game plan utilizes early turns to establish mana rocks and topdeck sculpting permanents such as Sensei's Divining Top, Aminatou, the Fateshifter, Penance, and Soothsaying. On Turn 4, Yennett enters the battlefield. On Turn 5, Yennett attacks to trigger its ability, revealing the top card of the library and casting massive odd-cost bombs for free, including Void Winnower, Expropriate, Breach the Multiverse, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, and Toxrill, the Corrosive. The deck backs up this engine with a robust Esper control package featuring high-tier card draw like Rhystic Study and Necropotence, flexible low-cost removal, and potent stax pieces that constrict opposing resources. Victory is achieved through devastating combat swings and extra turn chains over two combat rotations.
