Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + Scurry Oak + Lunarch Veteran // Luminous Phantom

Yawgmoth, Thran Physician

Scurry Oak

Lunarch Veteran // Luminous Phantom

How it works

1. Cast Yawgmoth by paying 2.
2. When Yawgmoth enters the battlefield, Lunarch Veteran 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 Lunarch Veteran trigger, causing you to gain 1 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, Lunarch Veteran and Scurry Oak's evolve ability trigger.
9. Repeat from step 4.

This ingenious engine uses Yawgmoth, Thran Physician's sacrifice-and-draw ability alongside Scurry Oak to continuously feed your board with fresh bodies. Every time a creature is sacrificed, Scurry Oak's triggered ability steps in to generate a brand-new 1/1 green Squirrel token, which immediately replaces the sacrificed material to keep the loop turning. Meanwhile, Lunarch Veteran // Luminous Phantom acts as your vital life buffer, smoothly offsetting the life payments demanded by Yawgmoth, Thran Physician while netting you an endless stream of card draw and triggers.
