Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Y'shtola, Night's Blessed helms an Esper spellslinger and life-drain control strategy. The deck leverages noncreature spells with mana value three or greater to trigger Y'shtola, burning opponents and gaining life while drawing cards whenever life totals fluctuate significantly. By pairing efficient interaction like Void Rend and sweepers such as Cleansing Nova with robust card draw engines, the deck controls the game pace. Victory is achieved either through the classic infinite life-drain combination of Exquisite Blood paired with Sanguine Bond or Marauding Blight-Priest, or by casting a kicked Rite of Replication targeting Gray Merchant of Asphodel for massive devotion damage.
