Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Noctis, Prince of Lucis leads an Esper artifact-recursion deck that turns lifelink and graveyard casting into a grinding value engine. The primary plan is to deploy equipment and vehicles, use Noctis to recast artifacts from the graveyard at a life cost, and convert that life gain into drain via Marauding Blight-Priest or into combat damage with suited-up creatures. The deck leans on a modest equipment voltron subtheme, with Squall, SeeD Mercenary providing double strike and recursion, and Open the Vaults as a mass rebuild button. It wins through incremental combat damage, life-drain triggers, or a critical mass of equipped attackers. The strategy is midrange and value-oriented, lacking fast combos but offering multiple angles of recursion and life-gain synergy.
