Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck executes an Esper midrange control strategy helmed by Y'shtola, Night's Blessed. Y'shtola turns your higher-cost noncreature spells into incremental life drain and provides reliable card draw whenever any player loses four or more life in a turn. You control the board early through single-target removal, board wipes, and defensive blockers while establishing continuous value engines. In the mid-to-late game, you leverage card advantage from engines like Vilis, Broker of Blood, and Alhammarret's Archive to pull ahead. You close out the game through heavy combat pressure from Shredder, Shadow Master, and Grave Titan, amplified by kicked Rite of Replication copies or incremental group burn.
