Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Saruman of Many Colors leads an Esper control deck designed to suppress opponent development and win through sudden combo loops or alternate win conditions. The strategy leverages taxing stax pieces such as Grand Arbiter Augustin IV, Winter Orb, and Spelltithe Enforcer alongside ten counterspells to slow down the table. Saruman generates immense card advantage by milling opponents on your second spell each turn and casting their best spells for free. The primary win condition is the infinite mill and life-loss combo between Duskmantle Guildmage and The Master of Lake-town. Alternatively, the deck closes games with Approach of the Second Sun or combat attrition.
