Saw the new Yawgmoth and decided to try and make something for him.

The theme is laying on the -1/-1 counters to kill our opponents creatures. There are a number of ways to abuse yawgmoth himself as well. Having 2 creatures with undying allows us to trigger him indefinitely and if one of those undying creatures is Geralf's Messenger , we can ping an opponent for 2 life while only paying one.

Cards like Blood Artist along with Nest of Scarabs or the lifelink/extort creatures ensure that our health total doesn't go down too much from yawgmoth's ability.

Nest of Scarabs fits into the -1/-1 theme very well too and essentially another way of making Yawgmoth free. Nest of Scarabs creates a token every time we -1/-1 something. Sac'ing a token for Yawgmoth generates a token so essentially we didn't lose anything board/creaturewise.

Massacre Girl can't affect Yawgmoth or herself so if both are out on the field we can chain -1/-1 effects to clear the board of creatures (we can use yawgmoth to generate or proliferate the -1/-1 counters he's made and if something dies while massacre girl is on the field then -1/-1 is applied to all creatures and if something dies off of that it chains again. Basically kill something with yawgmoth by sac'ing creatures which will trigger massacre girl and create even more -1/-1 counters which lets us kill even more creatures/bigger creatures)
