Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign

Yennett is a flying sphinx that turns your top-deck into a mini-advantage engine every single turn. Whenever she attacks, you peek at the top card and cast it for free if it has an odd mana value—otherwise you just draw. The strategy revolves around stacking your deck with odd-costed payoff spells (1, 3, 5, 7 mana) and using tutors plus effects like Braids, Cabal Minion or Scroll Rack to arrange what's on top. This lets you chain free spells turn after turn while Yennett beats down in the air.

You'll want to include cards that benefit from being cast or triggered effects that trigger whenever you cast spells. Effects that let you look at the top of your library (Braids, Conqueror's Flail, scroll-effects) let you manipulate what Yennett reveals. The deck plays a midrange game—ramp early, then start attacking and cascading spells. Your threats come from the free spellcasting advantage, not necessarily combat damage alone, though menace and vigilance make Yennett a respectable evasive threat.

Win conditions are flexible: you can generate enough card advantage to combo out with protection/reanimation spells, grind opponents down with repeated free value, or just steadily chip away while maintaining board control. It's a tempo deck that rewards careful sequencing and deck construction.
