This is a fun Yasova deck that was built to strike a balance between competitiveness and fun. Yasova is not the most competitive commander, but she has an incredibly fun and challenging effect to build around.

As Yasova's theft ability is dependent upon her power, the basic strategy of the deck is centered around buffing her, stealing the best creature your opponents have, and sacrificing it for value. Because Yasova needs to be buffed in order to steal better creatures, there is a voltron element to the deck.

There are a few "power matters" cards (ex: Greater Good, Traverse the Outlands, etc), which also synergize with our main gameplan of buffing Yasova and/or sacrificing the opponent's creatures.

This deck has a number of value cards that will win the game if they aren't quickly answered. Therefore, as the harsh tundra environment depicted in Yasova's art implies, this deck is quite at home if the game devolves to attrition-based warfare. The deck can operate well on its own without Yasova in play due to these value-generating cards.

consider: by force for decimate, unravel the aether for akroan war, wandering archaic for fires of invention, Nassari, Dean of Expression for humble defector, also think about Song of the Dryads and Imprisoned in the Moon, Mystic Reflection, Loyal Apprentice, Sword of the Chosen, Swiftfoot Boots, Lore Weaver / Ley Weaver combo with Maze of Ith, (also run Ulvenwald Hydra for more land tutoring, Agent of Treachery, Druid of Purification, Shivan Harvest, Expansion / Explosion, review ramp and sac outlets, Lizard Blades, Industrial Advancement, Seize the Spotlight, Faerie Mastermind, Bonehoard Dracosaur, The Skullspore Nexus, Dire Fleet Flail, Subterranean Schooner, Season of Gathering
