50 games —Nov. 10, 2019

After finally sitting down to about 50 or so games, I must admit, that I enjoy this deck immensely. A couple of points of note, it is a little slower than I expected, but what it lacks in "out of the gate" power, it more than makes up for in resilience. I have noticed that board wipes and the ilk don't seem to bother this deck much, in fact, a board wipe allows for more time to set up. Admittedly, it does struggle with some of the more established cEDH decks, but the fun had while playing the deck more than makes up for that. I find that more often than not, I win by aristocrat effects (life loss/gain effects), surprise infect damage, or just by controlling the board state with -1/-1 counters. There were a couple of games where I had won by old fashion beats. Having been a black mana player for a long time, I found it was easy to ignore the massive life loss that this deck does. Most games, I dip dangerously low on my life total, below 10 in many of those games, but that life loss equates to card advantage. Overall, I enjoy playing Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, just as much as I enjoy my Teysa, Orzhov Scion deck. Even if I didn't have this stellar list, I would still consider a budget version of this deck to be incredibly competitive in most EDH groups and worth the investment if you wanted to try a mono-colored commander. I will follow up soon with a few additions from Core 2020, Throne of Eldraine, and K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth and let you all know how it continues to perform. As always, thanks for reading and if you enjoy the deck, be sure to +1 and check out my inspiration for this decklist, my friend tribal-kai as well as his YouTube channel. Thanks again!
