Why Yawgmoth?

Because the three card combo with him and because finally we have the lord of phyrexia to play with.

Is this deck competitive?

I at least tried to make it competitive, but I'm new to competitive meta and I wouldn't trust my deckbuilding. Also I haven't made any playtesting yet so we will see. Meta I play in prettyy competitive so we will see how it works.

How to Game?

Setup Combo

with two undying creature

1. play undying creature 1
2. Play undying creature 2
3. Play Yawgmoth, Thran Physician and activate the first ability to kill creature 1 and draw a card (You can place the -1/-1 counter to enemy creature , but you dont have to)
4. Kill creature 2 with the ability, draw a card and place the -1/-1 counter on creature 1 to remove the +1/+1 counter and reset undying.
5. Repeat steps 3 (this time put the -1/-1 counter on creature 2) and 4.

with undying creature and combo enabler

1. Play undying creature 1
2. Play combo enabler (I use Genesis Chamber in this example)
3. Play Yawgmoth, Thran Physician and activate the first ability to kill creature 1 and draw a card (You can place the -1/-1 counter to enemy creature , but you dont have to)
4. Undying creatures undying triggers and as it enters the battlefield it triggers Genesis Chamber .
5. Kill generated token with Yawgmoth's ability and reset Undying on the creature 1.
6. repeat steps 3-5.

Winning Combos

Combo Deathgreeter + Geralf's Messenger

1. Have Setup combo running and either run it straight away with Geralf's Messenger (preferably) or draw until you draw it.
2. Draw until you draw Deathgreeter and play it. Now you can draw without dying.
3. Run combo until your opponents are dead from Geralf's Messenger EtB ability.
4. To not draw yourself out use either Putrid Imp or Skirge Familiar to discard Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre . This allows you to suffle your grave to library.

Combo Deathgreeter + Skirge Familiar + Torment of Hailfire

1. Use Setup combo to draw Deathgreeter , Skirge Familiar and Torment of Hailfire . Faster you draw and play Deathgreeter less this is going to hurt.
2. Play Deathgreeter and Skirge Familiar with rituals and fast mana artifacts.
3. Draw and discard cards with Skirge Familiar as mana and discard engine and by suffling grave into library with Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre .
4. Cast Torment of Hailfire with enough to kill your opponents

Combo Bitter Ordeal + Deathgreeter (go to combo)

1. Use Setup combo to Draw and play Deathgreeter .
2. Draw and use either Putrid Imp or Skirge Familiar to discard Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre . This allows you to suffle your grave to library.
3. Cast Bitter Ordeal with enough gravestorm to exile your opponents decks.

Combo Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat (go to combo)

1. Use Setup combo to draw and play Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat .
2. Draw and use either Putrid Imp or Skirge Familiar to discard Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre . This allows you to suffle your grave to library.
3. Win by draining your opponents lifetotals.

Backup combo ( when everything else fails) Insidious Dreams to Aetherflux Reservoir + Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top

For this you have to either have Insidious Dreams in your hand and or Aetherflux Reservoir + Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top in your hand and .

1. Cast Insidious Dreams , discard three cards and tutor Aetherflux Reservoir + Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top in that order so Bolas's Citadel is on top of your library.
2. Draw and cast Bolas's Citadel and cast it.
3. With Bolas's Citadel cast Aetherflux Reservoir and Sensei's Divining Top
4. Now you can put Sensei's Divining Top on top of your library and cast it with life while gaining life with Aetherflux Reservoir .
5. Kill your opponents with Aetherflux Reservoir ability.

All these combos need mana. You should be able to produse said mana with mana artifacts and rituals. You should almost always try to win on the spot when you get your setup combo on the table. You should plan your game so you can Ad Nauseam your way to the combo or tutor and/or reanimate it. This deck has some removal and even interaction, but is weak against blue control because the lack of your own counters. It has instant removal and can deal with creatures like Collector Ouphe .
