Yawgmoth Thran Physician Commander Deck Tech 

14:50 Sacrificing it won't save it from exile "If it would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else"

Just picked up a Time Shifted Yawgmoth. It's absolutely beautiful

Necropotence is Legal in EDH

One note: Walking ballista goes also infinite with mikeaus if you have a sac outlett or it can generate infinite etb and dies trigger for something like blood artist

You under play krav. Gain life, sac any amount of creatures, draw, and +1/+1 counters equal to amount of creatures.

With proliferate and sac I feel that Hangarback Walker is a must in this deck

Been watching your content for so long man! Love the deck and what you do DJ!

First Phyrexian in the comments , here for our Lord and savior Yawgmoth!!!!

Mana Crypt, Chrome Mox and Mox Diamond. Sure, I have plenty of those lying around.

All I want is a jund -1/-1 counter commander 😭

I'm building a budget Yawgmoth deck that really takes advantage of proliferation. I have a few pieces to get, but I'm really excited to play the deck!

Excellent deck tech!! I would you to see your insights on how to build the new Sisay, I want to build her but it can go in so many directions!

I think DJ is rich, “ you will need fast mana, so mana crypt and chrome mox need to be in this deck”

New "Bone Miser" could be a good edition to this deck. Discard those unwanted lands to pop off with proliferate

i think he would really appreciate both an ashnod's altar (possibly with a prismite to turn it into a phyrexian altar), a phyrexian altar & the myr retriever scrapyard trawler/junk diver/workshop assistant combo to go with them ;) ;) otherwise undying creatures & blood artist effects are defs the way to go & have enough redundency so that if someone exiles one of ur pieces there's plenty more options, cabal coffers & stronghold really deserves a mention too as well as the other lands that help black generate a buttonne of mana, unearth can get back most of the combo pieces too as well as reanimate etc etc

Madness is also a consideration if you want to focus on the proliferate ability

Love Yawgy's art!!!

6:00 aren't -1/-1 counters independent from +1/+1 counters? Even if they are at their base power/toughness the counters still exist right?

Bitter ordeal is also really good to get out some lands of the library and improve the draws.

Pair him with slimefoot and paying a life is nulled out since you would sac a saprling and gain that life back. Then put the negative counter on either another saprling or depending on board state, start killing an opponent's tokens.

Awesome deck tech! I do have a question though, if you sacrifice a creature you "whipped" back with Whip of Erebos, would it not still be exiled?

Thank you, sexy daddy bear DJ, for this great vid!

Top bloke, great video, cheers

All hail Yawgmoth!

I normally just watch all these commander deck techs from various channels to get to know different cards and their interactions with eachother. Let's be real, EDH casuals don't have the money for these decks, hahah.

Thank you DJ!!!

yawgmoth is sick! so much value

Gosh I wanna build him so bad, but I already have 3 Aristocrat decks. Why is sacrifice so cool

DJ, can you explain the combo you’re talking about? I’m looking at the same cards you are but I don’t see it. (I’m also fairly new to Magic)

Yooooooooo DJ with the fresh deck tech

Griselbrand banned?

14:56 he states he “can sacrifice a creature like grave Titan brought back by whip to bypass the exile effect”. This is NOT true. Whip has a replacement affect causing the creature to go into exile instead of going anywhere else…

I love how grislebrand is banned but necropotence isn’t. The 3 mana version while having more restrictions, seems much more ban-able

Bubbling Muck... 3:)

I’m 2 minutes in, but this, hapatra, and the accompanying proliferate/ -1 cards all go in Atraxa, IMO.

Your example of whipping a creature into play then sacrificing it to keep it from going to exile. Read whip again, it says if the creature would leave the battlefield, exile it.

I know this comment is really late but could u do the grixis commander in m20 if its good?

Yessss The YawgDaddy!

What is this music?! I love it!

wait, positive and negative counters cancel each other? since when??

FINALLY!!!

I just want to put him in my Scorpion god deck!

Darksteel reactor?

Honestly almost fell like Yawgmoth is stronger than urza tbh, turn after you drop your urza, drop your yawg, and pay the like 2 life and kill urza? Sure

I made a yawgmoth deck before i saw this and honestly im not a huge fan of this build. I have found the bitterblossoms esque effects are not that great unless you have a ton, but then you are diluting your deck. Same with relying on proliferate. I rarely use it even with something that synergizes with it. Liliana dreadhorse general is the only one that is not terrible in this deck. Although i believe that this is a solid deck and i love the presentation, i think its pretty underwhelming

Aight, time for you to do the new Omnath. It’s too crazy to pass up.

this is borderline cedh viable

Necropotence is illegal?

yawgmoth infect tho

3:17 "that is ILLEGAL inn our format" Necropotence is not banned in EDH. Please be careful giving false information.

It’s a worse korvold (kinda) but he’s way more fun and cool. Korvold is just simply better value, and you get more colours, but yawg can do proliferate things, and is a free sac outlet. He’s very good in the 99 of korvold too.

I love you, DJ! You can even make me click on a video about a dumbsterfire commander like Yawgmoth

20 black mana + poison counters anybody?

Third-eith. feels even worse :(

Kind of a commander that gets removed on sight. Btw Necrologia is almost as good as Necropotence (for some reason many don't know it exists).

2nd...doesn't feel good

Please pronounce it Neh-CROP-o-tence. Not Necro-potence. Does Superman come from Metro-polis? I asked two English professors for conformation. One of my pet peeves.

Infinity combos is wrost part of magic for casual games. Great for competitive tables although. Infinity commander should be a whole new thing, a table with only infinity combos and is just a racing of who go off first. 😒

Yawgmoth is going straight into my Shirei deck, in the 99. A value sac outlet for my 1 power creatures, and he can put the -1/-1 counter on himself to make him into 1/3 to "Shirei-protect" himself.

Firsteenth.

I'm glad urza was more popular than yawgmoth. Now I can buy cards for him before they spike

14:45 Actually, Whip specifies "If that creature would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else." The Whipped creature gets exiled, no matter what, the next time in the game (not just that turn) that it would change zones, and it still gets exiled even if it changes zones due to an effect other than the Whip's delayed sacrifice. This is the main reason I don't put Whip in decks - a one-shot 2BB reanimate and then the creature gets exiled is real bad, especially in value or reanimator focused decks. I always much rather continue to abuse a creature's ETB/LTB/dies/etc effects than get a single trigger then the creature gets exiled.

Anyone else tempted to include a Darksteel Reactor with Yawg?

You mentioned sacing a creature that the Whip brings back, but it states on the Whip that "If it would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else", so sacing it to Yawgmoth a 2nd time wouldn't send it back to the graveyard for you to be able to Whip it a 2nd time.

I enjoyed your vid a lot and thoroughly agree with not playing him too spike oriented (I'll admit I'm running messenger, but only if their build is asking for it! ) , I'm a bit of a fan boy for Yawg so couldn't help myself to start brewing when I saw him. Taking the zombie tribal route since they scale well with him at all stages of the game and can, synnergize with both his abilities :) thanks for the vid Jumbo keep up the good work!

Im just going to casually slot this into my athreos/shadowborne apostle deck as part of the 99.

I am here to leave a like and watch the video. As you can see like is pressed

soon you will be slim commander ;) as long has is your point (losing weigh because of lack of health is a bitch) im happy for you

DJ. Your voice is like buttery velvet

This deck is so fucking slow it dosent o anything.

I’m building Kresh with Yawgmoth and Hapatra as well as wither and infect, I think it’ll be gross. I think Font of Agony would be a good fit, and Yawgmoth could speed it up to bank counters.

I run all my fav black and mono coloured planeswalkers to proliferate and loads of artifacts - the 'mana rocks' with x and counters and stuff like smokestack, and dare I say it - tanglewire. I generally try to save tanglewire for winning the game. I run the best token generators like bitterblossom and ophiomancer but I cut all the ones I think are a bit janky to fit artifacts.

Bought one horizons pack for kicks and pulled this. Wasn’t sure what to do with it, but I may now lol. Thanks DJ.

Bargain os banned Necro, not

How do you feel about balthor the defiled in this deck?

Necropotence is legal in edh! Bad Dj!

Anyone know what card art that is on the background of the "flexibility" screen around 14 min in?

Price of knowledge

Whip still exiles the Titan... You've gotta read the card.

I wanna just put infect in a deck like this and be the embodiment of black, my meta is competitive and I like mono decks so I may roll monoblack for the evil plays

Needs more Contamination/Infernal Darkness for the salt :)
