Lava-Tongue Schemer
Zoyowa Lava-Tongue is a compact threat that pulls work beyond its 2 2 body. Cast for {1}{B}{R}, this Legendary Creature Goblin Warlock brings deathtouch and a disruptive end step trigger that taxes opponents who refuse to lose resources. The foil art shows the goblin slinging a molten curse from a volcanic cavern, fitting the Lost Caverns of Ixalan motif and helping narrow opponents options without overextending your board plan.
In play Zoyowa Lava-Tongue reads like efficient attrition. It punishes hands and boards simultaneously by forcing each opponent to either discard a card or sacrifice a permanent and then applies three points of damage to those who kept everything. That makes it a solid inclusion in midrange or sacrifice builds where incremental advantage and punishments for sitting on answers scale into real game endings. Treat it as a tempo piece that converts attrition into direct damage while still serving as a deathtouch blocker when needed.
