Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Y'shtola, Night's Blessed commands an Esper midrange spellslinger deck that wins by steadily draining opponents and accruing card advantage. The strategy focuses on casting noncreature spells with mana value 3 or greater to trigger Y'shtola's damage and lifegain ability. Complementary drain engines such as Marauding Blight-Priest, Starscape Cleric, and Papalymo Totolymo amplify this life loss. As life totals dwindle, the deck stabilizes through generous card draw from Y'shtola and spells like Into the Story. The primary win condition is closing the game through repeated drain triggers, combat damage assisted by G'raha Tia's Hero tokens, or a large Exsanguinate.
