This week Nathan reviews a high power, value-generating brew of Yarok the Desecrated, a commander that is focused on doubling enters-the-battlefield triggers. The deck contains no infinites and aims to win via combat damage alpha strikes after accruing a ludicrous amount of value with Yarok on the battlefield. How would you change this brew to improve it?

Yarok's ability reads: "If a permanent entering the battlefield causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time." This effect transforms Yarok into a cornerstone of ETB decks, unlocking unparalleled value by doubling triggers from creatures, artifacts, enchantments, and lands. Historically, Yarok decks focus on generating overwhelming value through a mix of creatures with impactful ETB abilities and synergistic permanents. Staples include creatures like Mulldrifter and Solemn Simulacrum, which provide card advantage and ramp, and lands such as Field of the Dead, which floods the board with Zombie tokens. Enchantments like Panharmonicon further enhance Yarok’s synergy, allowing players to exploit ETB triggers multiple times. In Commander, Yarok thrives as a versatile and dynamic leader, embodying the power of incremental advantage. Magic: The Gathering (MTG) is a popular collectible card game created by Richard Garfield and first released by Wizards of the Coast in 1993. It combines strategy, fantasy, and storytelling in a richly immersive game where players assume the roles of powerful spellcasters known as Planeswalkers. Each player builds a deck of cards representing magical spells, creatures, and artifacts, using them to battle opponents in a competition to reduce their life total to zero. The game is played using a variety of card types including lands which provide mana to cast spells, creatures that are used to attack and defend, and instants and sorceries which produce powerful one-time effects. Magic features a complex ruleset and deep strategic elements, with gameplay that often involves constructing decks tailored to specific strategies, known as archetypes. With various formats like Standard, Modern, and Commander, MTG offers diverse gameplay experiences. Its expansive lore, numerous expansions, and continuous updates keep the game fresh and engaging. Players enjoy the dynamic nature of deck-building, strategic planning, and the thrill of both competitive and casual play. The game's rich universe and complex mechanics contribute to its enduring popularity and global community.
