Quote From MTG Arena

When Belzenlok's lieutenant Yar-Kul grew too ambitious, the Demonlord transformed him into a maggot. The frog that ate the maggot grew and grew until a ravenous spirit burst from its body. Today, we celebrate that spirit, everyone's pal, Yargle!

We asked Yargle how best to celebrate, and here's how we interpreted its gurgles and shrieks:

  • Yargle makes the rules! Yargle has provided decks for everyone to use, and we've even cleaned most of the slime off of them.
  • Yargle is the center of attention! Yargle is the only non-common cards allowed, and you'll have plenty of extras so you won't run out.
  • Yargle is special! Yargle will be faster to get into the fight, so nobody has to have fun alone.

Join us for a rip-roaring good time with a spirit of a frag which at a maggot that was actually a transformed lieutenant of a demon. Happy Yargle Day, everyone!


Happy Yargle Day Secret Lair

There's a Secret Lair drop happening this afternoon featuring Yargle. It will be available in foil and non-foil variants, with the foil setting you back $40 instead of $30 for the non-foil. If you're interested, here's the shop page for Yargle Day Secret Lair, and here are the contents.

Do note, there is no MTG Arena redemption with this product. I'd really love some Yargle Opts though =(
