Princess Yue

Gameplan

Princess Yue is a mono-blue value engine: every turn you tap her to Scry 2, smoothing draws and setting up your top deck. When she dies she returns as the land 'Moon' producing colorless mana, so she's hard to permanently remove. Build a control or spellslinger shell that grinds the game out while Yue filters relentlessly toward your wincons.

Key Cards

• Sensei's Divining Top — Turns Yue's Scry 2 into powerful card filtering and stacks with any top-deck manipulation.
• Brainstorm — Lets you bury dead cards Yue scryed to the bottom while drawing the gems set up on top.
• Mystic Sanctuary — Rebuying counterspells pairs with Yue's library control to lock out opponents.
• Jace, the Mind Sculptor — Fateseal and Brainstorm effects amplify Yue's top-deck stacking into a hard lock.
• Aetherflux Reservoir — A self-contained mono-blue wincon that closes games while you durdle behind counters.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana (Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, mana rocks) so you can both deploy Yue early and hold interaction. Tighten the counterspell and removal suite (Swan Song, Fierce Guardianship, Cyclonic Rift) and add a compact wincon such as Thassa's Oracle plus Doomsday or Aetherflux Reservoir to convert Yue's filtering into a deterministic kill. Pack top-deck synergy pieces like Sensei's Divining Top and Vampiric-style tutors aren't in color, so lean on Mystical Tutor and Personal Tutor to chain your scry-stacked plan.
