Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + Nest of Scarabs + Vein Ripper
How it works
Prerequisites
- Your life total is at least 2.
- You control at least one additional creature.
- There is at least one other creature on the battlefield.
Steps
- Activate Yawgmoth by paying 1 life and sacrificing another creature.
- When the creature dies, Vein Ripper triggers, causing you to gain 2 life and target opponent to lose 2 life.
- Resolve the Yawgmoth ability, putting a -1/-1 counter on any other creature and causing you to draw a card.
- If the creature who had the counter placed has 0 toughness, it dies as a state-based action.
- Nest of Scarabs triggers, creating a 1/1 Insect creature token.
- Repeat until your opponents do not control any more creatures, or until you draw your library.
- If you have cards remaining in your library, you may repeat this combo any time a creature enters the battlefield under an opponent's control.
