Given that you could only have one in play at any given time, could you theoretically build both versions into a deck for a total of six Yog-Sothoth cards?
Yes, you can put 3x copies of both into a deck (it's legal) but you can still only have one total copy in play (either one, but not both). So, it's probably not in your best interest as you'd end up with a lot of dead cards and too many unplayable cards early in the game.
In general Yugoth AO's are better, but often there are some cases when Core guy might see some use. Yog is one of them IMO - if you have deck full of spells and make
Yog-Sothoth (Core)
cheap enough he might be quite nice, he also works great with
The Mage Known as Magnus (TWC)
[edit i guess this Yog is still enough to kill pretty much anything, but still
This guys cost of 6 is actually higher than Cores cost of 8 when there are enough spells.
The problem is Core guy doesn't do that much, and this guy gives you really nice cheap spell recycling. And Yog has some tricks to bypass his cost, like
Opening the Limbo Gate (Core) or
Things in the Ground (SoA).
Does Yog's special ability work with Tesla? I could see it counting only as a triggered effect by Yog and not by the card in the discard pile, but you are playing the spell from the discard pile without paying its cost. Does this mean you are triggering the spell's effect from the discard pile?
