The deck gets its nickname from the adage "I'm not a doctor..." and is a reference to my college major. The initial inspiration for this deck was to take cards in my binder & add $50 to build a fun value-based deck that is surprisingly powerful. The "sideboard" is more of a wish-board & is a mix of cards that I have swapped out to try other things & cards I would like to try in the deck.If the Nitpicking Nerds are reading this, I'd be willing to throw another $100-150 at this deck with the intention of making it on a power level somewhere between high power casual play & low power cEDH (e.g. if 9&10 level decks are cEDH, I'd like this deck to be an 8.5). There are no other restrictions.
Yawgmoth is the heart of this deck! Get him out ASAP.Cards like Culling the Weak and Dark Ritual allow you to get Yawgmoth out much earlier than opponents anticipate. Pairing Memnite with Culling the Weak on turn 1 always feel good, but can paint a target on your head due to how explosive it is.The next step is to establish cannon fodder.Creatures like Reassembling Skeleton & Gravecrawler are arguably the best creatures for this role because they can easily be brought back from the graveyard. The other method for establishing cannon fodder is token generators. Weaponcraft Enthusiast, Abhorrent Overlord, & Pawn of Ulamog produce plenty of tokens to be sacrificed.Now it's time to end the game. (Fastest win achieved so far with 3 opponents is turn 4. I believe the fastest win theoretically possible with this version of the deck is turn 3. In 1v1 turn 2 victories are possible.)Combos: The general idea is to nullify the life loss from Yawgmoth's first activated ability, a creature with undying, & a way to cause opponents to lose life (either death trigger or ETB). Key cards: Falkenrath Noble, Zulaport Cutthroat, Deathgreeter, Geralf's Messenger, Butcher Ghoul, & Nest of Scarabs.Non-Combo Finishers:Tainted Strike aka you probably should've blocked that 10+ damage even though you were at 40 lifeUltimate Liliana, Dreadhorde General... most people will scoop if it resolvesAetherflux ReservoirInfect & proliferate (This is definitely the least common way this deck wins)Interaction: Ugin (the Ineffable), Spark Harvest, Defile, Doom Blade, Bojuka Bog, & arguably The Immortal Sun.Ugin gives the deck a way to deal with nearly all problematic permanents (i.e. mono black doesn't have many good options to deal with enchantments)

Nitpicking nerds neat, anyhow I would say perhaps put in victimize for a turn 5 big creature if you discard with Yawgmoth, or another one is stitch together which is good just not as fast
