Deck Notes
I have to say, every time a Yawgmoth deck hits the top table, I get pretty excited. The proliferate/sacrifice strategy is a really fun one, and this deck does all that and more. As always, queen of everything Sheoldred is the star of the show, but this whole deck is a bomb and a half. No one is safe, and whenever you kill an enemy, you get fodder for your own sacrifices.
