📖 How to build Kogla and Yidaro

Kogla and Yidaro is a six-mana Gruul legend whose value comes from its enters-the-battlefield trigger. You can give it trample and haste until end of turn so it attacks right away, or have it fight a creature you don't control. The game plan is to land a big threat that either pressures the opponent immediately or removes a blocker.

Build around it with ramp to reach six mana sooner, such as Cultivate, Rampant Growth, Farseek, Kodama's Reach, and Birds of Paradise. Add removal and protection that support the fight mode, like Blasphemous Act, Beast Within, and Heroic Intervention. Its discard ability can destroy an artifact or enchantment for {2}{R}{G}, then shuffle the card back into your library and draw a card.

The six-mana cost is steep, so the deck needs ramp to function consistently. The fight mode only works well if the creature survives the exchange, so be ready for combat tricks or removal from opponents. The discard ability costs you the card itself, so save it for when the artifact or enchantment answer is truly worth it.
