Strategy
Yargle has no abilities at all - a 9/3 Frog Spirit for five mana and nothing else. That makes the plan unusually strict: the only way he wins is commander damage, so every slot either gets him through, makes his hit bigger, or keeps him alive. Nine power is the hook, because it is close enough to the twenty-one needed that one good turn finishes a player.
Early: Ramp and hold up protection. Sol Ring, Dark Ritual, Arcane Signet and the signet package get Yargle down ahead of schedule, and cheap removal keeps the board clear of blockers that can trade with a 3-toughness body.
Mid: Suit him up. O-Naginata costs one mana, attaches only to a creature with power 3 or greater, and gives +3/+0 and trample - twelve trampling damage from a single card. Whispersilk Cloak and Trailblazer's Boots make him unblockable outright, and Swiftfoot Boots and Darksteel Plate keep him on the battlefield.
Late: Double strike is the finisher. Fireshrieker, Grappling Hook or Brass Knuckles take Yargle to eighteen damage in one connection, and any trample or pump effect pushes that past the twenty-one commander-damage threshold. Eldrazi Conscription makes it academic at +10/+10.
Win conditions: One connection with double strike and a pump effect kills a player outright through commander damage. Command Beacon returns Yargle to your hand to dodge the commander tax, and Phyrexian Reclamation rebuys the equipment carriers when things go wrong.
- O-Naginata - One mana for +3/+0 and trample on a 9-power body
- Fireshrieker - Double strike turns one hit into a commander kill
- Whispersilk Cloak - Makes a 9/3 unblockable and shroud-protected
- Darksteel Plate - Keeps a 3-toughness commander alive through removal
