Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Hermes, Overseer of Elpis commands a mono-blue tempo and control strategy centered on slinging noncreature spells to create an army of evasive Bird tokens. The primary game plan is to establish Hermes, deploy efficient draw spells and reactive interaction, and steadily build a wide board of flying attackers while scrying toward key resources. Secondary win paths leverage tall threats like Tempest Djinn, Haughty Djinn, and Hraesvelgr of the First Brood, alongside dedicated mill pieces such as Ruin Crab and Fraying Sanity. With thirty-five interactive cards, the deck aims to lock down the board, disrupt opposing combos, and close the game through relentless aerial damage.
