Character Background
Subgoyf is a compact 1U Artifact Creature — Lhurgoyf whose power and toughness scale with the diversity of non‑creature subtypes in all graveyards, making it a tempo/value piece that rewards an unconventional graveyard plan rather than raw card count; played on turn one or two it can quickly outsize blockers if you populate the yard with a variety of Auras, Equipments, Arcane spells, Sagas, Plains, or even named subtypes like “Jace” or “Ulamog’s.” Practically, it best supports a tempo/value shell that prioritizes early board presence and cheap interaction while leaning on self‑mill or targeted discard to assemble unique subtypes — think one‑ofs of cheap Auras, a Bonesplitter or two, a Saga, a Planeswalker or Arcane spell to maximize diversity rather than duplicates. Be aware of graveyard hate (Rest in Peace); hedge with recursion or alternative lines. Deckbuilding tip: include a small mill/dump package and a suite of cheap, different‑subtype permanents so Subgoyf snowballs under pressure and trades favorably.
