Events
Yargle Day! (2020)
For the inaugural Yargle Day! event on September 3, 2020, 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 mana.[1][2][3]

For the third Yargle Day event, the format was phantom preconstructed Historic. There were five decks to choose from, each which contained nine copies of Yargle, Glutton of Urborg. The other non-land cards in each deck were singleton.
Players started the game with two emblems. The first was the same Happy Yargle Day! emblem from the previous two events, which reduced the cost of Frog spells by mana. The second was a new You Are What You Eat emblem which granted the ability "Whenever a Frog enters the battlefield under your control, you may sacrifice a creature. If you do, draw a card, and that Frog gains all of the abilities of the sacrificed creature."
