Yomiji, Who Bars the Way

Yomiji is all about protecting your legendary permanents and getting repeatable value from them. Your deck wants to maximize the number of legendary creatures and artifacts you're running, so that every time one hits the graveyard—whether by sacrifice, removal, or your own intentional recursion—you get it back to your hand. This is especially powerful with legendary creatures that have strong enter-the-battlefield effects or abilities that trigger when they leave play. You're essentially turning your graveyard into a hand extension, letting you replay the same game-winning threats over and over.

Your win condition typically comes from either bashing in with a growing board of legendary creatures (possibly equipped or buffed), or from grinding out value and card advantage until your opponents can't keep up. Consider pairing Yomiji with cards that sacrifice permanents, since you get to recur them while also getting the sacrifice effect's benefit. Blink effects also work beautifully here—flicker your legends to trigger their ETB abilities while leaving them on the battlefield, all while Yomiji watches from the command zone.
