Yarok, the Desecrated
$0.32
Legendary Creature — Elemental Horror

Sultai value deck that doubles every enters trigger, so ETB creatures, landfall and flicker loops produce twice the cards and removal.
Read more
Yarok is a 3/5 with deathtouch and lifelink for five. If a permanent entering causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time. That covers creatures, lands, enchantments and artifacts, so Mulldrifter draws four, Reclamation Sage hits two targets and landfall cards fire twice. The deck fills up on ETB creatures, flicker effects and Panharmonicon, which stacks with Yarok for a third trigger when artifacts and creatures enter.
In the recorded games, Woodland Bellower, Manglehorn, Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath and Mulldrifter with Conjurer's Closet were typical value plays, and doubled triggers on removal creatures picked apart opposing artifacts. Several lists had combo finishes, such as Cloud of Faeries with Shrieking Drake for a mana loop that ended with Dread Presence, Intruder Alarm with Aluren, or Deadeye Navigator. Most of the time, though, the deck won by outgrinding the table. Its weak points were targeted removal on Yarok, which shut the engine off, and combat pressure before the value piled up. Tracking every doubled trigger also made games long and fiddly.
