Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods puts a steady engine into decks that use face down creatures. Cast for {2}{G}{G} and enter the battlefield as a 4/4 Legendary Centaur Druid that grants haste to your other creatures. That immediate pressure matters in tight games where a single attacking face down creature can open space, trigger value and still leave your board ready to act the same turn.
Yarus rewards an aggressive, morph style plan. Whenever one or more face down creatures you control deal combat damage to a player you draw a card. When a face down creature dies you get it back on the battlefield face down if it is a permanent and then turn it face up. The text pairs well with sacrifice outlets that let you recast or recur permanents after they flip. A small touch of set lore fits the card as a guardian of old rites who drives the manor into motion when secrets fall into the open.
