Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Zethi, Arcane Blademaster leads a spellslinger tempo/control deck that aims to fill the graveyard with cheap instants, then exile a critical mass of them on her entry via multikicker. Each attack she copies those exiled instants, generating a torrent of card advantage, removal, and value. The primary win condition is combat damage-Talrand, Sky Summoner's Drake tokens, Zethi, Arcane Blademaster herself, and incidental beatdown from other creatures. A secondary line uses Brain Freeze with high storm count, copied multiple times per combat, to mill opponents out. The deck lacks fast mana, tutors, and infinite combos, relying on incremental advantage, a dense instant-speed interaction suite, and protection to outlast opponents.
