Esper Control & Combo — Y'shtola, Night's Blessed
A powerful Esper control-combo deck built around Y'shtola, Night's Blessed. The deck focuses on card advantage, interaction, and efficient mana acceleration while assembling multiple game-winning combos.
The main win conditions include Thassa's Oracle/Jace, Wielder of Mysteries + Demonic Consultation/Tainted Pact, Exquisite Blood + Vito/Bloodthirsty Conqueror/Enduring Tenacity, and Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank.
The deck uses strong tutors, counterspells, removal, and stax effects to control the game and protect its combos until it can secure the win.

8netherwind8: Thanks a lot for the upvote and input. I've bern running the deck for a couple of years now. It's always a blast.
Crawlspace isn't really my type of card, but would definitely work here. It's pretty expensive for my taste, so a hard maybe for that. Constant Mists definitely is above my budget. Heartless Hidetsugu is a card I run in Neheb, the Eternal. I see the appeal here, but it's not how I like to run this deck. I've cut multiple damage burst cards in the past, this would fit that category. The damage doublers do as well. Master of cruelties us similar, but might work for me. Another maybe. I adore Hornet Nest for this. I should have a copy somewhere, so I'll be sure to try that out.
Thanks for your insights. May the webs be with you ;D

Until end of turn, all nonland permanents you control have Shroud, and all creatures you control have "Pay : Regenerate this creature.".
Do another card with a now obsolete keyword!

Hey.
I ran this up against Legacy Sun Dance Zoo (Naya Blitz) in a best-of-three w/ sideboard.
Game 1: On the play with two Ugins and two Ancient Tombs, I opted for aggression and laid down a turn-two Thought-Knot Seer. He has six assorted one-drop creatures. One of them is this jackass Narnam Renegade who deathtouches his way past the seer while he builds up an army to compliment my Ancient Tombs. He gets land while I get a Disruptor Flute and Manifold Key before getting clobbered.
Game 2: I side in Ennaring Bridge and Ballista for 2x Ugins. Opening hand included Hamlet and Pithing Needle, letting me shut down two-thirds of his fetch lands. He answers with the other fetchland and opens with Wild Nacatl. I've got two Grim Monolith and a key in hand, and I play all of it. Now I just need something to throw it at. He adds Amped Raptor, which summons that Renegade again, and swings for three. I draw another key and play that, and proceed to take six to the face, draw a land, take six more, and get bolted to death.

Banning jeweled lotus and mana crypt totally screwed my mono black deck. I run mono black infect with skithiryx as my commander. So NEEDLESS to say I don't get a "battle royal" in EDH; I get a 3v1 match up every time and without cards like that I'm just dead in the water by turn 3 or 4. Especially if there is a control deck. There's just nothing I can do. And now I can't play the deck that I've spent years refining and putting over $2,000 into it. I've literally had this deck and loved it for the past 10 YEARS!!!! And now there's not even a point in playing it in tournaments.

Supertyoes and subtypes don't count as card types, so the types you listed (artifact, battle, etc.) are what you can swap. So you can swap a legendary creature for a nonlegendary creature, but you can't swap a snow creature for a snow artifact.
