Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Yahenni, Undying Partisan leads a mono-black aristocrats deck that wins by looping recursive creatures through a sacrifice engine, draining all opponents via Blood Artist effects and token generation. The primary plan is to assemble a self-sustaining death loop using Gravecrawler, a free sacrifice outlet, Open the Graves, and Pitiless Plunderer, ending in infinite drain. Secondary paths include Syr Konrad's graveyard-trigger damage and Marionette Apprentice's artifact-death drain. Yahenni itself is a free sacrifice outlet and can become a commander-damage threat after opponents' creatures die. The deck is highly resilient to single-target removal thanks to recursion and token redundancy, but it lacks stack interaction and cannot answer artifact-based graveyard hate.
