Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Wernog, Rider's Chaplain and Hargilde, Kindly Runechanter lead an Esper blink/artifact deck. Wernog turns every blink into Clue tokens or life loss, while Hargilde provides artifact-dedicated mana. The core is a flicker engine built from Ephemerate, Displacer Kitten, Conjurer's Closet, and Airbending cards like Aang and Appa, which repeatedly trigger enter/leave effects. Marneus Calgar converts the resulting token floods into cards, and token multipliers (Ojer Taq, Elspeth, Exalted Sunborn) turn small token outputs into large armies. The deck finishes through combat or by draining opponents with Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge while its artifact count climbs.
