Mictom: Er, I think Yoke + Fleshbag is actually a bombo, assuming correct play by your opponent. Since the triggered ability of Fleshbag Marauder happens 'all at one' (i.e., there is no time between the sacrifice of your creature and the sacrifice of their creature to trigger Yoke), your opponent should (correctly) sacrifice the enchanted creature, with the effect of 2-for-1'ing yourself, rather than vice versa.
I don't see this card doing much in competitive. It's like an edict that you gotta wait for. Lame. Does edict see any play these days?

With all, put the same thing except with / in front of what type of tags they are (like [/card]) to close them.

Yoke of the Damned- So for 1B I can turn any removal I have into a 2 for 1(well 2 for 2 including this) or turn a dying creature of my own into a trade. This is not brilliant but any removal is good and this gives non white limited decks an answer to big fat creatures(particularly the black ones that executioner's capsule couldn't deal with). Basically I'd never first pick this but if I needed removal I would be happy picking it as early as 4th(maybe even 3rd if the pack was short of playables), in sealed this is solid enough to make the deck unless the overall quality of removal is very high. obviously no non limited applications.
So it's an inverted Funeral March for less (like that says anything about power level, but I like to make comparisons)... but it's really just a slow Terror that applies to any color/type of creature. Still can't hit shrouded guys, but w/e.

Like every enchantment ever it wont see standard play (yeah I know Armadillo cloak and some others im missing but whatever) however its another great piece of removal for limited especially in Jund with all the token abuse (Puppet Conjuror is the tech heh)

I could see an EDH player, particularly a budget EDH player, packing this in their deck.
Then again, do budget EDH players exist?
^yes. Sadly, I'm one of those sad chaps who sit down at a table play Sygg, Cuthroat as his General...
This card seems just as good as any other spot removal, granted it sees play in mass-multiplayer.
(which there seems to be a couple of in the set. Blood Tyrant in EDH, anyone?)
This card is awful. Let someone else overvalue it in draft, in my opinion. It offers some cool interactions with the block, to be certain, but its woefully underpowered for pretty much everything.
As for the EDH discussion, there are much better commons in black for removal (Terror, Rend Flesh, Seal of Doom, etc.).
The only thing that makes me like it is that it's an "Un-" card waiting to happen.
Yolk of the Damned, something to do with eggs and zombies, I'd imagine.
Other than that, it's the typical "not terror but cheap removal that wishes it could be terror but you won't run because it doesn't actually work as well as other options" card. But I imagine that's too much text to fit into the text box of the card...

That's an over application of the enchantments are bad principle. Enchantments that enchant your opponents creatures are easily playable if they're good, cause the 2 for 1 possibility isn't there.
It either ends up being a sloppy version of Bone Splinters, or a possible 2-for-1 scenario, but that seems unlikely as the opponent would well play around it or just attack wit the creature to get it over with if only to avoid the situation of losing two creatures in exchange for one and a two mana aura.
I feel as though this will get a lot of love at first like Grave Peril did in Future Sight, but quickly drop in valuation as the removal quotient in this set is already pretty solid and this one is just too clunky. I like to have more control over my removal spells.
I wouldn't have many issues with maindecking them in draft if I was light on removal going into the Conflux pack or had a meager Sealed pool needing removal desperately.

Excited for M13 Limited? What do you think the format will look like? Head over to the limited forum and let us know what you think.
eh, I wouldn't mind using it as a strange Terror in my Devour Deck. It actually kills any creature it can target at the two slot. That sells me alone. And if i were to put it into a deck I would put it into a deck that compliments its trigger to an extent that it is justs kills on the next thing you do. I.E.

This would have been alot cooler if it made them sacrifice a creature when the enchanted creature dies, but I'm not sure why they made the card this way. It seems cumbersome and very wonky.

Well to me it seems much easier to activate the way it was designed. Having to kill the enchanted creature would be harder to achieve and then they get to choose what creature to sacrifice. I think this is an interesting design and a high pick if you're drafting a Jund-style deck with devour as well as Vithian Stinger, Blister Beetle, Blood Cultist, etc.

Funeral March requires that both creatures be your opponents, whereas this does not. This card is volumes better.

I would offer up a better card. Grave Pact. It is a turn 4 drop, however, that is it's downside. But if you look at it this costs 1B whereas grave pact costs 1BBB. With grave pact you can remove as many of their creatures as you want for 4 mana. In the case of devour or creatures with sac abilities, its perfect. They declare attack, you sac some tokens and they no longer have anything to attack with. Its great with Token gen, Nantuko Husk both Thrinaxes. I am a huge fan of grave pact and it goes in every token deck of mine.
Long story short, I am not a fan of this common, where there are so many better spot removal spells.

I know hoping for an equipment card that references the card directly and wins the game when attached is probably a tall order, though

Actual Truth:
youd have to get yoke onto CC first, and that would be hard since its pro black
That's almost as impossible as 'Target creature loses shroud'.

Orb simply can't accommodate it - there are no 'sacrifices' or 'sacrifice' for it.
We know it mentions the graveyard, and talks about 'play', and are pretty sure it says destroy. . . on it somewhere.
Other than that, can anyone explain this?
