The Yargle Day! emblem.

In celebration of the memetic Yargle, Glutton of Urborg, a free-to-play phantom preconstructed event was held on Magic: The Gathering Arena on September 3, 2020[1][2][3]. In the American dating convention, this is 9/3 - Yargle's power and toughness - which makes it Yargle Day.

Description

For the inaugural Yargle Day! event, the format was Standard Pauper, with some unique differences. Firstly, there were nine copies of Yargle, Glutton of Urborg (an uncommon) in every deck. There were exactly three copies of all the other non-basic cards in each of the five event decks. Players started with a Happy Yargle Day! emblem in play which reduced the cost of Frog spells by 2 generic mana mana.

“  Yargle Day Event Details
  • Yargle makes the rules! Yargle has provided decks for everyone to use, and we've even cleaned most of the slime off them.
  • Yargle is the center of attention! Yargle is the only non-common card allowed, and you'll have plenty of extra 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.[1]

In the same article announcing the Arena event, a special Yargle Secret Lair was released. This was Secret Lair Drop Series: Happy Yargle Day!.
