Yawgmoth, Thran Physician

Yawgmoth is a powerhouse aristocrat that turns your creatures into card draw and creature removal while generating value. His first ability rewards you for sacrificing creatures—a perfect fit for decks full of tokens, morbid triggers, and death payoffs. You'll build a engine where you're constantly sacrificing small creatures to ping down opponents' threats while refilling your hand, then use his proliferate ability to snowball your own counters (on planeswalkers, infect creatures, or counter-based threats). The deck wins through a combination of grinding value, poison counters if you include infect creatures, or simply overwhelming the table with card advantage until you can close out games with evasive threats or combo pieces.

You'll want cheap token generators and recursion to fuel the sacrifice engine—cards like Zulaport Cutthroat and Blood Artist punish opponents every time you sacrifice. Proliferate synergizes beautifully with planeswalkers, ongoing counters, and any infect creatures you include. The mana efficiency of Yawgmoth's abilities means you can operate on minimal resources; even a few tokens give you repeatable card draw and removal. This is a grindy, interactive deck that controls the board while building toward inevitability.
