Yawgmoth's conquest begins with a withering stare... This deck is about -1/-1 counters and drawing cards. Indestructible enemies are no problem, simply wear them down until you can claim them as your own with Necroskitter.

Timelines collide as K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth travels back in time to aid in his fathers ascension as a Phyrexian god. Yawgmoth, Thran Physician may not yet be a giant cloud of death yet, but the TMA (Thran Medical Association) definitely wants to revoke his medical license after this experiment.

Combos

Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + 2 undying cards likeButcher Ghoul/Geralf's Messenger (or 1 undying + Genesis Chamber) = pay life to Draw (kill opponent with Geralf's Messenger)

Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + Blowfly Infestation/Nest of Scarabs = expanding -1/-1 counters or token sac fodder, add Necroskitter to steal opponents creatures

Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + Sac fodder + Blood Artist/Deathgreeter/Dross Harvester/Relic Vial/Zulaport Cutthroat = Lifegain/damage

Thespian's Stage + Dark Depths = Marit Lage

Thespian's Stage + Cabal Coffers = Extra coffers

Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top = Yawgmoth's Bargain

Bolas's Citadel + Aetherflux Reservoir + Sensei's Divining Top = Storm off to kill the table

Wincons

Aristocrat combo setup with Yawgmoth

Use the undying loop to generate a lot of grave interaction then cast Bitter Ordeal to mill your opponents. If you're familiar with your opponents decks you can just use this to search for key combo pieces instead to neuter their decks and give you time/space.

Cast Insidious Will, tutor for Bolas/Aether/Top combo, use Yawgmoth to draw Bolas's Citadel, Cast it then combo.

I know some people will question the lack of Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, but with 4 undying creatures, several tutors, and other alternative strategies, I didn't want to rely on his presence.
