I faced a guy who made a deck that revolved around this card
He would put Cabal Rituals , Dark rituals , any kind of tudor , any card that costs 0 mana (Lion's eye diamond , ect.) and a Tendrils of agony , with all the mana gained from his cabal and dark rituals , he would use a Yawgmoth's will to repeat the process of using most of his deck's spells , then when he's finished he would play a Tendrils of agony that he got from all the black tudors and storm my face for 20+ damage in turn 2 at the least....and then he would laugh as he won the game with 40ish life.

A member of the best possible hand in all of Magic.
Turn 1:
Black Lotus for blue (Card 1)
Black Lotus for black (Card 2)
Traumatize targeting myself (Card 3)
Dark Ritual of the remaining black mana into (Card 4)
Yawgmoth's Will (Card 5)
Recast both Lotuses, the Ritual, and any other crazy broken free ramp that you dumped with the Traumatize. Followed by Tendrils of Agony. Good game. Every game. All the time. Forever.
The other two cards are both Pact of Negation (Card 6 & 7) just any case anyone dares to try and disrupt your combo.
Ridiculously expensive. Totally absurd. Completely restricted. Absolutely flawless.

"This card says you "play them as though they are in your hand". You still have to pay their costs. This is definitely a very good card, but the ability is not crazy broken. It just needs to be a bit more expensive for it to be fair.
Black Lotus. Now that is crazy broken. Until a card is made that rivals Black Lotus, just shut up."
Yawgwin is much better than Black Lotus.
Proof?

Black Lotus is definitely broken, but it's an awful top-decker most of the time. Yawgwin is and instant-win, unless countered, but Black Lotus is just as susceptible...

ummm, yes. yes, I would put this in my mono-black aggro deck. and my half-black aggro deck come to think of it. Imagining it as a very bad regrowth at is ABSOLUTE worst, it is not too hard to find some black cards that are near auto-picks in the first place for this card. Dark Ritual and Tutors to start. Then Necro. Cabal Coffers and Candelabra. Black Fetch-Dual Suite. Then throw in whatever degenerate combo-finisher critter you want, and pick your SB depending on the meta. Best Deck Ever Ever? Nope. Insanely Good Deck that should still win some/lots? Hell yeah. Carnophage & Friends for aggro, Hynoptic Specter & Friends for control.
One of the better power-to-dollar ratios out there. How many Jace the Mind Sculptors to Yawwgy for equivalent deck strength? How many Yawwgy's to a Jace in dollars? Not a bad find for the budget deck builder looking to break some faces.

The strongest spell in the game. It just wins on resolution. Other cards deserve a paragraph discussing them. This kills you before you type the whole thing out... Actually, it takes a while, as you have to resolve what's left of your 10-spell quota before you kill your opponent with Tendrils of Agony.
Also, you want a broken interaction? This + Gush + Fastbond. Created some of the biggest blowouts Vintage has ever seen.

Its good , but its got to be in the right deck. and you need a lot of mana to really do anything that impressive . for which you need dark rituals , and at best your going have what 2 in you graveyard by turn 20 .
however yeah sick combo possibilty for those in the know
its like a regrowth on crack

A great card but it mostly belongs to the type of win condition I don't like in magic: If I have card A,B,C,D,E and another E and this in my hand I win the game. For the rest of the cases I wait until I draw the other cards or play Yawgmoth's Will with a rather weak effect. If you want to win on turn 1 or 2 you can play for yourself drawing seven cards from your deck and say: "Hey, this time I win" or "Shit, no first turn kill this time". Sounds like fun.

I agree 100% with Syvanis (and I don't even know the person!) - "Not quite a Black Lotus or Ancestral Recall, but should replace Timetwister in the Power Nine".
