I will first off say I do not take full credit for this primer for as you can see in the comments you guys have given me great suggestions and helped this deck evolve by your comments and suggestions making it easier for me to create this primer.

This Yarok deck is just pure value. Its a blast to play any deck version of Yarok but i’ve built this deck to run in a Casual-Competitive meta so I didn’t want to go crazy on the budget.

I am always looking for suggestions! Cuts, adds, land ratios...ect

Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think!

Infinite Mana:

1. Yarok + Shrieking Drake + Cloud of Faeries + fours lands (two of them have to make blue mana) equals infinite mana and infinite casts of Drake and Cloud of Faeries.

2. Yarok + Peregrine Drake + Dead Eye Navigator. Have Dead Eye paired with Peregrine and keep flickering him.

Win Conditions:

1. This Wincon utilizes Aetherflux Resevoir. You will need infinite mana combo #1 to perform this. With infinite casts of Drake and Cloud with Aetherflux Reservoir out on the battlefield you will beable to achieve infinite life and use Aetherflux to finish off your opponents.

2. The second Wincon can utilize #1 or #2 Infinite mana combos. Once you achieve infinite mana you cast Villainous Wealth causing your opponent to mill their entire library and using the rest of their library against your opponents!(unfortunately all creatures you took will die if you mill them completely) so you can either not mill them completely or hope they have enough instant/sorcery's to finish off your opponents.

3. Get Bontu’s Monument out on the field and use Yarok + Shrieking Drake + Cloud of Faeries to drain everyone for life for each cast.

Other:

With the infinite mana #1 i’ve talked about; you can stop bouncing Peregrine with Shrieking Drake at anytime and bounce another creature such as Coiling Oracle or Risen Reef. These creatures let you put all nonland cards from your library into your hand and all the lands from your library onto the battlefield which will hit all your landfall triggers(just be careful of milling yourself out). You can abuse this infinite combo(or pieces of the combo) on pretty much any thing in Yarok’s deck because it’s all just pure value. Things like uro, craterfoot behemoth, Avenger of Zendikar, Ob Nixilis, ETB card draw, ETB tutors, ETB removal...ect i think you get the picture.

You can use crystal shard to bring more value to Uro.

Thassa with Yarok out is just a huge Value you can use for other ETB effect.

Let me know if I need to fix/add anything to this primer. Thanks for viewing!
