Ah, Urza's block.
Looking back it seems like R&D was on some serious drugs.

Game winner of the highest order. If you're a newbie who doesn't understand how good YawgWin is, slap it in a deck full of Corrupt, Drain Life, a playset of Dark Ritual and all sorts of other nasty black things (especially a couple of Kokusho, the Evening Stars if you have them). People will stop every rude thing you try throughout the game. And then you'll drop Yawgmoth's Will, and you can suddenly play every single one of those again. In one turn. At your opponent's face. Usually, that's "good game".
Was at one point the key card in a tourney-worthy deck with Oath of Druids and no creatures. It put your library in your graveyard, and then YawgWinned for a winning Drain Life thanks to all the mana sources you'd just dumped. Second turn.
Yeah, it really is that good.

I don't understand how this card isn't a 5.0. I demand a recount!

Incredibly powerful. Effectively acts like a tremendous, mono-black draw spell. The only difference is that you draw from your graveyard. All of it. And with that kind of card advantage, you can't help but win. Barring some kind of nerf, or player error, you get to do everything you just did, but instead of playing Yawgwin again, you get to play Tendrils of Agony, Banefire, or, if you feel particularly cruel, you can tutor up the Time Vault/Voltaic Key combo.

One time, my friend said that this is great because he could replay Whitesun's Passage. Ten life from two cards? Count me in!
He is still in the lifegain stage of new players :(
Oh yeah, this is incredibly powerful, and should go in every Vintage deck you own, and NOT in casual.

A great newbie test is to show them this card and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn and ask them which is better. Once they understand all the reasons why this card is so powerful, they will no longer be newbies.

This does NOT belong in the Power Nine. It's a fairly common misconception that the Power Nine is some sort of running tally of the best nine cards in the game. This is not true. While the they probably were the best cards very early on, it's no longer the case. Yawgmoth's Will, Library of Alexandria, Tinker, Mishra's Workshop, and Sol Ring could all be argued to be better than Time Twister nowdays. But the Power Nine is now much more a symbol for nostalgia and desirability to collectors. None of these other cards are restricted to just an Alpha, Beta, and Unlimited printings. None have the history, nor the notoriety.
@ dragonking987: Look at Regrowth: it's Restricted in Vintage. Now look at Yawgmoth's Will -- it is much the same as casting Regrowth on your entire grave (albeit for a turn). Praetor's Counsel's also does this, but Wizards decided it was better to place it at eight mana, rather than three. Yawgmoth's Will let's you draw your ... (see all)

Ask Wizards for the ultimate combo with this card, so broken that it was nearly never made:
Whetstone.
I am not making this up.
