Hot Offerings from the Cavern

Zoyowa Lava-Tongue is a compact threat that asks opponents to make hard choices. This Legendary Creature Goblin Warlock arrives as a 2/2 with Deathtouch and a forcing end step trigger that punishes passivity. If you descended this turn the table changes: each opponent may discard a card or sacrifice a permanent and those who do not take that option take 3 points of direct damage. It fits well into aggressive and midrange black red lists that want a repeatable way to pressure resources while still trading favorably in combat.

In practical play Zoyowa Lava-Tongue is a turn end planner. Use it after you descend to set up attrition that strips cards or board pieces from opponents while keeping your clock. Its Deathtouch makes blocking costly and helps protect a narrow life total in races. Flavor wise this goblin warlock channels the volcanic bargains of the Lost Caverns of Ixalan offering a simple transactional threat that punishes refusal as surely as a burn spell.
