This is a pseudo-Voltron that's designed for multi-player rather than 1 vs 1. The general themes are to make everyone sacrifice creatures, kill many of the others left standing, and bring a few of the best ones back on my side. The continual death of other creatures tends to power up Yahenni and tends to keep games swinging back and forth, rather than allowing someone to build a terrific creature board. Enchantments and artifacts controlled by opponents are absolutely this deck's weak spot.
