Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + Scurry Oak + Bastion of Remembrance

Yawgmoth, Thran Physician

Scurry Oak

Bastion of Remembrance

How it works

1. Cast Yawgmoth by paying 2.
2. When Yawgmoth enters the battlefield, Scurry Oak's evolve ability triggers.
3. Holding priority, activate Yawgmoth by paying 1 life and sacrificing a creature.
4. When the creature dies, Bastion of Remembrance's second ability triggers, causing you to gain 1 life and each opponent to lose 1 life.
5. Resolve the Yawgmoth ability, putting a -1/-1 counter on Scurry Oak and causing you to draw a card.
6. Resolve the Scurry Oak trigger, putting a +1/+1 counter on it, triggering Scurry Oak's second ability.
7. Holding priority, activate Yawgmoth by paying 1 life and sacrificing a creature.
8. When the creature dies, Bastion of Remembrance's second ability triggers, causing you to gain 1 life and each opponent to lose 1 life.
9. Resolve the Yawgmoth ability, putting a -1/-1 counter on Scurry Oak and causing you to draw a card.
10. Resolve the Scurry Oak trigger, creating a 1/1 Squirrel creature token.
11. When the Squirrel enters the battlefield, Scurry Oak's evolve ability triggers.
12. Repeat from step 6.

This brilliant loop turns your creatures into an endless engine of life and cards by cleverly manipulating Scurry Oak's counters. Whenever a -1/-1 counter from Yawgmoth, Thran Physician shrinks the Oak, its evolve ability and counter-triggered ability respond by growing it back and spawning a fresh Squirrel token. Meanwhile, Bastion of Remembrance quietly oversees the carnage, draining your opponents' life totals and padding your own life buffer every single time a creature pays the ultimate price to fuel Yawgmoth's card draw.
