MTG > Metagame Commander > deck Yawgmoth, Thran Physician

Strategy

The Yawgmoth, Thran Physician Commander deck you have here be centered around sacrificing creatures for value and draining your opponents' life totals. Yawgmoth himself is a powerful engine for card draw, removal, and manipulation with his proliferate ability. The deck looks to generate value through sacrificing creatures like Geralf's Messenger, Reassembling Skeleton, and Nether Traitor, triggering effects like Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Butcher Ghoul. The synergy with cards like Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Nest of Scarabs allows for additional value from sacrificing creatures, creating more tokens and draining your opponents even further. Combos like Phyrexian Altar and Reassembling Skeleton can generate infinite mana to fuel powerful spells and abilities from your deck. The deck has a strong focus on graveyard recursion with cards like Victimize, Pawn of Ulamog, and Demonic Tutor to find key pieces like Gray Merchant of Asphodel for a massive life swing. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Cabal Coffers provide a powerful mana ramp engine to cast your big spells like Bontu's Monument, Bolas's Citadel, and other expensive cards in your deck. Overall, the deck excels at grinding out value over the long game, draining opponents through sacrificing creatures and generating tokens. It has a lot of powerful synergies and combo potential, making it a strong choice for a Commander deck. However, it may struggle against fast-paced aggressive strategies or decks that can disrupt its key pieces through grave hate or removal.
