“I am greater than rain and nourishment. I am glistening oil and perfection.” —Yawgmoth

Alright, since I first made this deck, it has rapidly become a favorite of mine. As such, I've gotten some great advice from people and have put a little more funds into pushing the power level of the deck up.

Basic idea is to play off of Yawgmoth's second line of text to draw a lot of cards to ensure land drops, ramping, etc. It also sets me up to find board control cards such as Grave Pact and similar effects to keep my opponents down. To win, I'm playing cards like Torment of Hailfire and Exsanguinate to drain my opponents.

Power Level

Mtg.cardsrealm = 8 I would put this deck at a 9. It's not cEDH, but it's only a step below that.
