Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + The Locust God + Pious Evangel // Wayward Disciple

Yawgmoth, Thran Physician

The Locust God

Pious Evangel // Wayward Disciple

How it works

1. Activate Yawgmoth's first ability by paying 1 life and sacrificing another creature.
2. When the creature dies, if Wayward Disciple is on the battlefield, it triggers, causing you to gain 1 life and an opponent to lose 1 life.
3. Resolve the Yawgmoth ability, causing you to draw a card and allowing you to put a -1/-1 counter on up to one creature.
4. The Locust God triggers, creating a 1/1 Insect creature token with flying and haste.
5. When the Insect enters the battlefield, if Pious Evangel is on the battlefield, it triggers, causing you to gain 1 life.
6. Repeat.

This brilliant engine transforms the natural cycle of life and death into a self-sustaining storm, fueled by Yawgmoth, Thran Physician sacrificing your creatures to draw cards and distribute -1/-1 counters. Because you are constantly drawing cards, The Locust God leaps into action to instantly replace every sacrificed creature with a flying, hasty Insect token. Meanwhile, Pious Evangel and its transformed side, Wayward Disciple, ensure that every single entry and exit from the battlefield offsets Yawgmoth's life cost by draining your opponents and padding your own life total, allowing you to dig through your deck and melt the table at the exact same time.
