Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Y'shtola, Night's Blessed is the deck's engine and finisher: she turns every 3+ mana noncreature spell into 2 damage to each opponent and 2 life, and her end-step draw condition replaces cards whenever anyone loses 4+ life. The primary plan is incremental drain: cast Y'shtola, then chain noncreature spells while accumulating 0/1 Wizard tokens from Transpose, Cornered by Black Mages, and Circle of Power. Secondary paths are Bolas's Citadel chains, Omniscience/Show and Tell, and Enduring Tenacity converting lifegain into targeted life loss. The deck has no hidden commander; the token/Wizard package and the small legendary subtheme (Papalymo, Lyse Hext) support the drain plan rather than replace it.
