Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an Abzan counters-and-graveyard value engine built around Tayam, Luminous Enigma. The deck aims to develop a board of small creatures carrying +1/+1 counters, then turn Tayam's activated ability into a repeatable mill-and-reanimate loop that returns cheap permanents to the battlefield. Mana dorks such as Faeburrow Elder, Kami of Whispered Hopes, and Enduring Vitality accelerate the engine, while Luminous Broodmoth, Emperor of Bones, Twilight Diviner, and Smile at Death give it multiple layers of recursion. The cleanest infinite finish is the Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood drain loop, and the deck can also win through combat with Scurry Oak tokens, The Mycotyrant, and a recurring Unstoppable Slasher. It is a grindy, resilient midrange strategy, but it leans heavily on Tayam to convert self-mill into board presence and has almost no stack interaction.
