Welcome to Yarok, the Desecrated EDH. Yarok is one of my favorite legendary creatures printed in the past couple years because I am probably one of the greediest players I know. Naturally, I needed to make a value-centric deck around him.

Quick description

This is a greedy, value-oriented, enters-the-battlefield tiggered ability deck. There are some exceptionally powerful enters-the-battlefield triggers in MTG, and this deck wants to abuse that as much as possible. From stealing your opponents biggest threats, to making large quantities of mana, to pumping the power of your board up for a massive swing, to drawing a lot of cards, this deck wants to do it all.

Should I play this deck?

You will like this deck if:

• You are one of the greediest players you know.

• You want to utilize powerful abilities multiple times.

• You like slower midrange decks that try to squeeze as much value from each card as possible.

You will not like this deck if:

• You hate it when your opponents decks are fast enough to get under your gameplan.

• You dislike when your opponents can unravel your setup with well-timed removal.

• You want to be playing large numbers of instants and sorceries.

Key cards

Mana-centric ETB effects:

• Lotus Cobra can be extremely effective ramp with Yarok in play.

• Coiling Oracle can find more than one land. Can also be slotted into the card advantage ETB category.

• Risen Reef see Coiling Oracle. Synergizes with some of the creatures in the deck as well.

• Cavalier of Thorns can find more than one land. Bonus points if Risen Reef is in play.

• Wood Elves find forests, but the do not have to be basic. This can hit Zagoth Triome, Breeding Pool, and Overgrown Tomb.

• Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath only gets extra value on its ETB trigger, but that's a pretty good trigger to have extra value on.

Card advantage ETB effects:

• Sire of Stagnation can draw lots of cards per turn cycle, as your opponents combined efforts at playing lands can be very quick.

• Growing Rites of Itlimoc   finds you more cards to get more value on. It can become a big mana source late game as well for some of the big X-effects (Genesis Wave and Villainous Wealth).

• Guardian Project and The Great Henge provide lots of cards to replenish your hand when utilizing your large quantities of mana.

• Gonti, Lord of Luxury can steal some sweet cards from your opponents.

• Tatyova, Benthic Druid combined with other ramp effects can net you a lot of cards and life very quickly.

Flashy, big-plays ETB effects:

• Avenger of Zendikar can make a LOT of plants, and they can grow very quickly as well. Synergizes well with the land-ramp based effects in the deck.

• Agent of Treachery makes your opponents sad. Probably the card in the deck that draws the most hate, because people don't like it when you steal all their fun toys :(.

• Phyrexian Delver can revive multiple scary threats and then you also get their cool ETBs as well. This card can hurt you a lot though if you are pulling out expensive threats from your graveyard, so play carefully.

• Sepulchral Primordial can find you a lot of powerful creatures quickly. This card plays extremely well with Kodama of the East Tree as well. Even without Yarok on the field, these two cards have the potential to reanimate the three best creatures from your opponents graveyards as well as place three bonus permanents into play from your hand. With Yarok, this increases to up to six creatures from your opponents graveyards and up to twelve permanents into play from your hand.

• Rampaging Baloths can very quickly build you a scary boardstate.

Go for the kill ETBs:

• End-Raze Forerunners and God-Eternal Rhonas can suddenly boost the power of your board by an immense amount.

Because doubling the ETB value just wasn't enough:

• Panharmonicon makes most of your ETB triggers even more sweet.

• Conjurer's Closet and Thassa, Deep-Dwelling let you repeat your best ETB triggers.

As always, suggestions are helpful for refining decks. It is most helpful if you can suggest a card to cut for each recommended card, and perhaps a reason why you think your suggestion is better than the removed card. Finally, don't forget to hit that +1 if you liked the deck!
