Viewing revision 129. There is a more recent version of this deck.
This Yawgmoth build is able to control the board heavily and shuts down creature-based strategies (stax, creature-based combo) (turn 3-4) if we have no option to combo that early and wins turn 4-6 most of the time.
What to tutor for?
Regular tutors will find answers and hate pieces, power ramp like Sol Ring/Ancient Tomb or carddraw with Necropotence in early game
Entomb will find Bloodghast for a static carddraw and board control engine with your Commander or Bridge from Below to assemble your Undying combo
Final Parting will put Bridge from Below in your graveyard and an undying creature in hand
Insidious Dreams will put Aetherflux Reservoir, Sensei's Divining Top and Bolas's Citadel on top of your library in this order.
If you already control Sensei's Divining Top or Bolas's Citadel it's always a good idea to tutor for the corresponding other.
If you already control Bolas's Citadel or Necropotence it's always a good idea to tutor for the corresponding other.
Win Conditions:
Butcher Ghoul, Geralf's Messenger, Sightless Ghoul or Evernight Shade + another Undying Creature + Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + Zulaport Cutthroat or Bastion of Remembrance
-> Draw whole deck and kill opponents due to loss of life (with 40 or more cards in your library)
Undying Creature + Pawn of Ulamog or Bridge from Below in Graveyard or Nest of Scarabs(and one more creature on the battlefield) + Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + Zulaport Cutthroat or Bastion of Remembrance
-> same effect
Geralf's Messenger + another Undying Creature or one of the 3 substitutes + Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + Deathgreeter
-> same effect (with 60 or more cards in your library)
Note: In the current build this combo doesn't go infinite because Yawg's draw isn't a may effect. If required you can include Elixir of Immortality to chain fast mana like Lotus Petal + Dark Ritual to cast and activate Elixir to refill your library and go infinite
Backup Plans:
Enchantments like Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void or Sulfuric Vortex are the worst nightmares of this deck. Answering opponent's enchantments is this decks biggest problem in gernal. Cause black has nothing useful to offer we run Blast Zone (Ratchet Bomb is unplayable in my opinion)
Therefore we need ways to win without abusing aristocrat and graveyard strategies...
Bolas's Citadel + Aetherflux Reservoir + Sensei's Divining Top
-> Repeatedly use Sensei's Divining Top activated ability to put it on top of your library and cast it for one life with Bolas's Citadel triggering Aetherflux Reservoir each time. Then use Aetherflux Reservoirs activated ability 3 times.
-> Most of the time you can start comboing off with just Citadel and Top paying one life per card till you run into Aetherflux or created enough value
-> You can use Insidious Dreams in your opponent's end step if you have 3 more cards in hand and 6 mana available in your turn to win out of nowhere
Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + Liliana, Dreadhorde General
-> -9 Liliana for massive permanent destruction
-> Besides from that Liliana is a pure value engine in this deck!
Upgrades: Mana Crypt, Mox Diamond, Thoughtseize, (Scroll Rack), Imperial Seal, Dark Confidant, Lake of the Dead, Gemstone Caverns, Volrath's Stronghold, Cavern of Souls
Things I might change if money wouldn't matter:
5 Snow-Covered Swamp <-> Lake of the Dead, Gemstone Caverns, Volrath's Stronghold, Cavern of Souls, Mox Diamond
Duress <-> Thoughtseize
Night's Whisper <-> Dark Confidant
Mox Amber <-> Mana Crypt
Weaponcraft Enthusiast <-> Imperial Seal
Leyline of the Void and Shred Memory are only here because of my current meta. In an more control heavy meta I'd use Conqueror's Flail and/or Defense Grid and more hand control such as Inquisition of Kozilek
