Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Sultai "big-mana top-deck" value deck built around Glarb, Calamity's Augur. The commander turns the top of the library into a second hand, so the deck leans on top-deck manipulation - Sensei's Divining Top, Brainstorm, Bolas's Citadel, One with the Multiverse, and Gwenom, Remorseless - alongside a deep landfall and extra-land package: Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait, Tatyova, Benthic Druid, Lumra, Bellow of the Woods, Exploration, Six, and Loot, Exuberant Explorer. It wins by assembling the Bolas's Citadel + Aetherflux Reservoir + Sensei's Divining Top life-drain loop, by mass-reanimating a table with Living Death into Gray Merchant of Asphodel or Terastodon, or simply by attacking with trampling giants pumped by Pathbreaker Ibex and Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma. It is a grindy, control-leaning midrange deck rather than a fast combo deck, but it can close reliably once the engine is online.
