About Yarok, the Desecrated
Yarok, the Desecrated, Legendary creature — elemental horror, designed by Daarken first released in Jun, 2019 in the set Core Set 2020 and was printed exactly in 7 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's a key card in 11 combos.
Yarok, the Desecrated would be a powerful addition to a deck focused on triggered abilities and entering the battlefield effects, such as a Sultai midrange or control deck in Magic: the Gathering. Its ability to double triggered abilities can create significant value and board presence. While there may be other cards that offer similar effects, Yarok's combination of deathtouch and lifelink makes it a versatile threat that can impact the game immediately. Overall, Yarok should definitely see play in decks looking to maximize triggered abilities and gain incremental advantages over the opponent.
Rules
07/12/19
Abilities that apply “as [this creature] enters the battlefield,” such as choosing a color with Diamond Knight, are also unaffected.
07/12/19
If a permanent entering the battlefield at the same time as Yarok (including Yarok itself) causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.
07/12/19
In some cases involving linked abilities, an ability requires information about “the exiled card.” When this happens, the ability gets multiple answers. If these answers are being used to determine the value of a variable, the sum is used. For example, if Elite Arcanist’s enters-the-battlefield ability triggers twice, two cards are exiled. The value of X in the activation cost of Elite Arcanist’s other ability is the sum of the two cards’ converted mana costs. As the ability resolves, you create copies of both cards and can cast none, one, or both of the copies in any order.
07/12/19
Yarok affects a permanent’s own enters-the-battlefield triggered abilities as well as other triggered abilities that trigger when that permanent enters the battlefield. Such triggered abilities start with “when” or “whenever.”
07/12/19
Yarok’s effect doesn’t copy the triggered ability; it just causes the ability to trigger twice. Any choices made as you put the ability onto the stack, such as modes and targets, are made separately for each instance of the ability. Any choices made on resolution, such as whether to put counters on a permanent, are also made individually.
