After cracking old-school villain Yawgmoth, I looked at which cards in my collection could have interacted decently with him and decided that sacrifice outlet to get value was most likely the best way to go. A couple of cards were chosen mostly for flavour reasons.

Some strategies to win are: - sacrificing expendable creatures to cause damage/life loss to opponents (Blood Artist, Syr Konrad, the Grim, Zulaport Cutthroat, Bastion of Remembrance). Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar can close the game straight away. - using Yawgmoth's proliferate ability with infect counters after dealing a Tainted Strike - generating enough mana to cast Torment of Hailfire, of course.
