How it works

  1. Cast Yawgmoth by paying 2B manaB mana.
  2. When Yawgmoth enters the battlefield, Healer of the Pride and Scurry Oak's evolve ability trigger.
  3. Holding priority, activate Yawgmoth by paying 1 life and sacrificing a creature, putting a -1/-1 counter on Scurry Oak and causing you to draw a card.
  4. Resolve the Healer of the Pride trigger, causing you to gain 2 life.
  5. Resolve the Scurry Oak trigger, putting a +1/+1 counter on it, triggering Scurry Oak's second ability.
  6. Holding priority, activate Yawgmoth by paying 1 life and sacrificing a creature, putting a -1/-1 counter on Scurry Oak and causing you to draw a card.
  7. Resolve the Scurry Oak trigger, creating a 1/1 Squirrel creature token.
  8. When the Squirrel enters the battlefield, Healer of the Pride and Scurry Oak's evolve ability trigger.
  9. Repeat from step 4.

This ingenious loop is anchored by Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, whose sacrifice ability turns our creatures into a veritable font of card draw while naturally managing board states with -1/-1 counters. Scurry Oak acts as our infinite engine, constantly replenishing our ranks by generating a Squirrel token every time its counters interact, which conveniently balances out Yawgmoth's life payment. Meanwhile, Healer of the Pride quietly sits back and pads our life total with every single creature entry, ensuring we never run out of health to fuel Yawgmoth's insidious experiments.
