Overview:

This Ygra, Eater of All deck focuses on Food token generation and aristocrat-style payoffs. Ygra serves as both a value engine (turning creatures into Food) and a growing threat that scales with sacrifice triggers. The deck aims to win through incremental life loss via Mirkwood Bats/Agent of the Iron Throne, commander damage from a massive Ygra, and occasional combat pushes with token armies buffed by Night of the Sweets' Revenge. Key synergies revolve around Food sacrifice loops with cards like Ravenous Squirrel and Experimental Confectioner.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Early Setup (Turns 1-4): Deploy Food generators like Gilded Goose, Savvy Hunter, or Trail of Crumbs. Use removal like Feed the Swarm to disrupt opponents.
2. Engine Assembly (Turns 3-6): Establish key payoffs - Mirkwood Bats, Agent of the Iron Throne, and Peregrin Took. Activate sacrifice outlets like Dockside Chef to trigger Ygra's growth and drain effects.
3. Win Conditions (Turns 6+):
   • Incremental Drain: Sacrifice 5+ Foods per turn cycle with Mirkwood Bats in play (5 life lost per opponent).
   • Commander Knockout: Use evasion enablers (Gingerbrute, Shelob's Ambush) to connect with a 12/12+ Ygra for 21 commander damage.
   • Overrun: Activate Night of the Sweets' Revenge's final ability with 10+ Foods for a lethal swing.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 2-3 lands and at least one Food generator (Gilded Goose, Trail of Crumbs, Experimental Confectioner).
• Prioritize early plays that create multiple Foods (Feasting Troll King, Killer Service).
• Avoid hands without green mana sources or sacrifice payoffs.

Key Tips:

• Use Peregrin Took to double token generation from cards like Giant Opportunity.
• Old Flitterfang provides recurring Food generation in grindy games.
• Back for Seconds can recur Mirkwood Bats or key sacrifice enablers.
• Sweettooth Witch converts excess Foods into direct damage.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Complete shutdown from artifact wipes (Bane of Progress, Farewell), which remove Food tokens and key artifacts.
• Struggles against Rest in Peace/Leyline of the Void shutting off Food death triggers and recursion.

Moderate

• Vulnerable to flyers/evasion due to limited reach and few deathtouch blockers beyond Scream Puff.
• Slow recovery from board wipes due to minimal recursion outside Back for Seconds.

Minor

• Limited stack interaction makes countermagic-heavy metas challenging.
• Some air in the list with underperformers like Mushroom Watchdogs.

Most Important Cards:

• Mirkwood Bats (Primary win condition via drain)
• Agent of the Iron Throne (Commander-focused drain)
• Night of the Sweets' Revenge (Mana acceleration and finisher)
• Trail of Crumbs (Card advantage engine)
• Peregrin Took (Token doubler)
• Experimental Confectioner (Sacrifice payoff and token generator)
• Feasting Troll King (Recurring threat and Food generator)
• Ravenous Squirrel (Sacrifice outlet + threat)
• Abrupt Decay (Critical interaction)
• Gilded Goose (Early ramp/Food source)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 4/10

• Wins typically occur T8+ through incremental drain or combat. No fast combos, though T6 wins are possible with perfect Mirkwood Bats/Night of the Sweets' Revenge draws.

Resilience: 5/10

• Multiple Food generators provide redundancy, but key payoffs like Mirkwood Bats have minimal protection. Some recursion via Back for Seconds helps recover from losses.

Consistency: 6/10

• Abundant Food generation ensures core strategy access, but lacks tutors for critical payoffs. Card advantage engines like Trail of Crumbs help dig for pieces.

Interaction: 5/10

• Runs efficient removal (Abrupt Decay, Putrefy), but lacks counterspells and struggles against non-creature strategies.

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a Casual/Precon level (4.0) with its linear Food synergy plan and T8+ win clock, but gains half a tier from its aristocrat elements and commander scaling. Vulnerability to artifact hate and slow clock prevent higher placement.

Power level: 3.5 - 4.0
