Event Details

When Belzenlok’s lieutenant Yar-Kul grew to ambitious, the Demonlord transformed him into a maggot. The frog that ate the maggot grew and grew, until a ravenous spirit burst from its body. Today, we celebrate that spirit, everyone’s pal, Yargle!

This year, Yargle is looking to broaden its horizons, to branch out and learn some new skills. And what’s the best way to learn? By eating, of course! Feed Yargle or one of its froggy brethren a choice morsel, and that Frog will gain all of its meal’s abilities. Delicious and educational! Happy Yargle Day, everyone!

Yargle Day! Event Details – 2020

When Belzenlok’s lieutenant Yar-Kul grew to ambitious, the Demonlord transformed him into a maggot. The frog that ate the maggot grew and grew, until a ravenous spirit burst from its body. Today, we celebrate that spirit, everyone’s pal, Yargle!

This year, Yargle has invited several friends who share its interests and general lopsidedness, and everyone’s squaring off in a Historic Brawl showdown. Of course, it’s Yargle’s day, so the rules might be a little lopsided to boot, but who’s counting? Choose your favorite champion and celebrate in style! Happy Yargle Day, everyone!

Following last week’s Standard 2021 Artisan event, players are once again able to earn up to 1200 Core Set Mastery XP (1.2 levels) as a one off in this event to help catch up. We still exactly two weeks until the Zendikar Rising Mastery begins on September 17, so be sure to use our Mastery Calculator to see what level you can reach. This will be especially helpful if you are wondering whether purchasing the paid Mastery Pass is worth it for you – remember, rewards are retroactive!

• 2 Wins: 300 Mastery XP

Event Decks

To participate in this event, you can choose from the five Historic Pauper decks below but each deck has 9 Yargle, Glutton of Urborg and it costs only 3 mana to play due to the emblem! Each deck is built around the card to make use of its 9 power, such as giving it unblockable, double strike or trample.

Each deck looks fun to play on their own, but if you are after the two quick wins then the Blue or the Red deck looks to offer the most value to disrupt your opponent’s Yargle to make way for your own. The Mono Black one offers consistency in the mana base and is not too far behind.
