I play with a lower-powered playgroup and wanted something potent, but grindy - and what better way to grind than infinite planeswalker value?\n\nSome of the cards in here are not cheap - and I'm lucky to have owned them long before they spiked to their currently hefty tags, but there's no shortage of valid substitutes you could use instead.\n\nOne card I'm on the fence with including is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Blood on the Snow"}},{"insert":", But it just seems too situational, we often dont actually want to wipe our own board and most our walkers are ~5 mana, meaning we need at least 5 snow-covereds spent on the card for any real value.

It features the typical big-black mana ramp and will either use it to get your walkers on the field, or once the engine is online to use Yawg's second ability to propel planeswalkers into ult-territory.\n\nThis is a "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"grindy "},{"insert":"deck, Planeswalkers are, for the most part, the wincons and I'm opting for "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Exsanguinate"}},{"insert":" over "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Torment of Hailfire"}},{"insert":" as a finisher, just because I feel it better matches the speed of my playgroup.

This is no doubt absurdly strong with Yawg and will probably give you enough advantage to just flat out win the game by itself - life is a realistic limiting factor without the use of life-gain aristocrats; so I didn't class it as an infinite in need of cutting.\n\nMy first Superfriends list, and incredibly fun - value engines are my favourite things in magic, and I'm grateful I'm in a playgroup that lets me utilize them fully rather than having to go for a more cut-throat combo list!\n\nUpdate: Back to one of my favourite lists with some updates from the newer sets!\nCurrently testing the newcomers, will update with my thoughts as I play!\n\nCurrent considerations:\n\nThinking of dropping "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bolas's Citadel"}},{"insert":" , the decks already pretty life-hungry unless we're in Gary-cycle mode.

It isn't unreasonable to cast this on our own walkers just to pump up another for a game winning ult (or reanimate the \"sacrificed\" ones straight after).

Almost certainly, but I just think it's too cute not to play.\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lux Cannon"}},{"insert":" is slow off the ground, but does essentially become a vindicate every turn in the mid game. Undecided on this slot. I'm keen on having a few cards capable of removing the card types mono black struggles with (since we're playing a grindy-control gameplan instead of just trying to turbo-combo with Yawgmoth), and we get utterly hosed by some enchantments/artifacts. \nOther considerations for the slot are:\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ugin, the Spirit Dragon"}},{"insert":" (fits our walker theme, but we don't like exiling our own things, he doesn't help with most artifacts, and he doesn't make tokens to feed Yawgmoth - baby Ugin is definitely a better include in our deck).\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Scour from Existence"}},{"insert":" (7 mana is *really* steep, but we are capable of generating huge volumes of mana, and it handles anything we need it to.).\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Unstable Obelisk"}},{"insert":" (also has an insanely steep mana cost, but does double as a mana rock).\nI haven't been as disappointed with Lux Cannon in play as I feel I should be on paper, so it's staying for now, but might revise that decision in the future.\n\n"}]}
