It comes back from undying, and the plus and minus counters on the other cancel out, putting you back where you started with one fresh undying creature, one with a counter, down a life, and up a card. Sacrifice the fresh one to put a -1/-1 counter on the one with a +1/+1 counter. To quickly spell out the combo: if you control Yawgmoth, Thran Physician and two undying creatures, one without a +1/+1 counter and one in whatever state, you can sacrifice them back and forth. Third Time’s The Charm: How I Won SCG Knoxville With Golgari YawgmothĪaron Barich covered a solid amount of playing the deck in her article last year. There is real merit to Golgari Yawgmoth in Modern these days. When the answer to “Why is this happening?” is just “random chance, this deck is bad”, I don’t write about it. The “filler” in Heliod is game-dominating cards like Skyclave Apparition and Auriok Champion, where Yawgmoth’s filler is do-nothing Wall of Roots and beatdown creatures that weren’t good enough for Standard in 2011.īut here’s another peek behind the curtain of my writing process. The Yawgmoth combo is really a three- or four-card setup with life total conditions, where Heliod is a clean two-card combo. Heliod has the whole indestructible, noncreature enchantment thing. Just looking at the two decks, there are many good arguments to play with Heliod, Sun-Crowned over Yawgmoth, Thran Physician. This week, that question was, “Why would you play Golgari Yawgmoth over Selesnya Company?” Usually when I write about a Modern deck, I’m trying to answer a question. Tom worked on the deck with Aaron last year, so sticking with it post-Uro makes sense. More recent and relevant is its wave of success sparked by a Challenge Top 8 by CitrusD, aka Tom Ross.
