Deck overview

This Esper deck leverages Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima to turn solo attackers into lethal combat threats. Jin provides tactical flexibility on every solo attack, granting either unblockability through Ghost or double strike through Standoff, while drawing extra cards whenever he deals combat damage. The list pairs this ability with devastating combat damage multipliers, including life-halving creatures like Virtus the Veiled and Unstoppable Slasher, infect enablers like Grafted Exoskeleton and Tainted Strike, and the brutal damage amplifier Bloodletter of Aclazotz. A dense suite of equipment tutors (Stoneforge Mystic, Steelshaper's Gift, Cloud, Midgar Mercenary) finds key artifacts quickly, while equip-cost bypassers like Sigarda's Aid, Forge Anew, and Codsworth, Handy Helper maintain high mana velocity. Robust protection spells such as Fierce Guardianship, Teferi's Protection, and Conqueror's Flail shield key threats during critical attack turns, allowing the deck to eliminate opponents in rapid succession.
