Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is an Esper control-value deck helmed by Tivit, Seller of Secrets. The plan is to ramp into Tivit, then leverage his Council's dilemma triggers (on ETB and combat damage) for a steady stream of Clues and Treasures while a dense stack-and-removal suite keeps the table in check. Primary wins are infinite mana/resources via Deadeye Navigator soulbond lines (with Peregrine Drake or Tivit himself) and the classic Approach of the Second Sun double-cast, backed by grind engines like Smothering Tithe, Black Market Connections, and Sheoldred, the Apocalypse. Reanimation (Animate Dead, Unburial Rites, Virtue of Persistence) and flicker (Venser, the Sojourner, Kykar, Zephyr Awakener) provide secondary assembly and recovery. The deck plays as a midrange control shell that converts political treasure/clue generation into a decisive combo or Approach finish.
