Zoyowa Lava-Tongue: Punishing the Unprepared

Zoyowa Lava-Tongue is a compact threat that excels at closing out games where opponents hold onto permanents. The creature arrives with deathtouch and a triggered end step that punishes players who did not lose a permanent this turn. In practice Zoyowa pressures hands and boards at once because the discard or sacrifice clause forces inefficient trades while the three damage punishes those who tried to protect everything.

Use Zoyowa in midrange shells that can reliably put permanents into an owner graveyard during your turn. She plays well in decks that sacrifice creatures or recur permanents and wants to convert a single descent into immediate value. The card reads cleanly on the battlefield and rewards sequencing; descend first, then threaten opponents with both resource denial and direct damage.
