This is my new Magic Arena deck I am currently running in order to to counter what is happening on ladder lately.

It handles very well any decks that try to use their graveyard and since the deck technically runs no creatures, its not susceptible to the Gyruda, Doom of Depths shenanigans either.

The win conditions of this deck are Eslpeth, Sun's Nemesis which is a nice recurring threats that can create 11 soldier tokens and/or boost existing tokens as well as our copies of Mobilized District, Gideon Blackblade is a nice solid indestructible creature that survives our Shatter the Sky and Time Wipe with a sizable body to boot along with copies of Ashiok, Nightmare Muse to create more tokens and potentially steal our opponent's cards as well.

The board is controlled with 4 copies of Essence Scatter, 4 copies of Shatter the Sky along with 2 extra copies of Time Wipe.

The deck also includes 2 copies of Eslpeth Conquers Death to fetch back our dead planeswalkers and to exile things in our opponent's board.

Overall, this deck feels nice to play with against the current meta. I hope you like it too!
