Gyox, Brutal Carnivora
Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Warlock
At the beginning of your end step, put an oil counter on up to one target creature. Whenever a nontoken creature you control with one or more oil counters on it dies, conjure X duplicates of it into exile, where X is the number of oil counters on it. Those duplicates perpetually get +X/+X. Then shuffle those duplicates into your library.

Strategy
Gyox wants you to load up your creatures with oil counters, then sacrifice them for value. When they die, you conjure duplicates that are permanently pumped and shuffled into your library, creating a growing army of threats. The deck plays like a midrange sacrifice engine—you're using cards like Viscera Seer and Ashnod's Altar to milk your oil-countered creatures for mana, card draw, or other triggers while Gyox's conjure ability stacks more powerful copies into your deck. Over time, your library becomes packed with oversized threats that will inevitably draw into your hand.
The core gameplan revolves around efficient sacrifice outlets and creatures that benefit from dying—think Zulaport Cutthroat, Blood Artist, and Viscera Seer. You'll also want ways to put counters on creatures besides Gyox's triggers, like Ozolith or other counter-doubling effects. The deck wins by gradually building a critical mass of conjured threats in your library, then overwhelm opponents through incremental damage and card advantage until you draw into your souped-up duplicates.
