Deck overview

Yawgmoth, Thran Physician helms a mono-black aristocrats deck that turns creature deaths into card advantage and life loss. The primary line is an infinite sacrifice loop: an undying creature (Butcher Ghoul or Geralf's Messenger) returns after each death, while Sifter of Skulls or Nest of Scarabs supplies the extra token Yawgmoth needs to keep recycling the +1/+1 counter, and one of several death-trigger drains empties opponents' life totals. The deck also contains value engines in Ayara, Syr Konrad, and Tevesh Szat, plus a backup mana-base win in Exsanguinate or Bolas's Citadel. K'rrik and Tevesh Szat serve as accelerants, but the entire deck is built around Yawgmoth's abilities.
