Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + Scurry Oak + Pious Evangel // Wayward Disciple

Yawgmoth, Thran Physician

Scurry Oak

Pious Evangel // Wayward Disciple

How it works

1. Cast Yawgmoth by paying 2.
2. When Yawgmoth enters the battlefield, Pious Evangel 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 Pious Evangel 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, Pious Evangel and Scurry Oak's evolve ability trigger.
9. Repeat from step 4.

This engine centers on Yawgmoth, Thran Physician to sacrifice your creatures for card draw and life loss, utilizing Pious Evangel's backside—Wayward Disciple—to offset the life payment and drain your opponents with every death. Scurry Oak acts as the perfect fodder generator, since placing a -1/-1 counter from Yawgmoth's activation is immediately countered by Scurry Oak's evolve ability triggering to put a +1/+1 counter on it, which in turn spawns a fresh 1/1 Squirrel creature token.
