Strategy
Kogla and Yidaro is a versatile 7/7 that does multiple things on entry and has a cycling-like activated ability. Your core game plan is to abuse its ETB trigger repeatedly—either by bouncing it with cards like Ephemerate or Soulherder, or by recurring it through reanimation. The fight mode gives you creature removal, while the trample/haste mode lets you apply immediate pressure. Since it cycles itself back into your library while destroying artifacts and enchantments, you're essentially getting value while thinning your deck.
The deck can win through combat damage by repeatedly blinking Kogla, building a tempo advantage while controlling the board. You'll lean into creatures that synergize with ETB effects, bounce outlets, and ways to recur it from the graveyard. The activated ability means you're never truly out of gas—even if Kogla gets milled or discarded, you can activate it from the yard and shuffle back in for another draw. This makes the deck surprisingly resilient and grindy.
