Thero’s Flash ‘Dictate’ Cycle has some good synergy with this, since you can use Yurlok after an opponent’s done everything, then produce mana and throw these out and burn. Plus, their symmetry can be very political I’m a fan of Patriar’s Seal, and other Untappers to stack Yurlok activations

‘Dictate of Erebos’, a Magic the Gathering card from the set ‘Journey to Nix’. Three Mana of any colors, plus two black mana, gets you an enchantment with Flash. This can be played at Instant speed, or during your turn if you want. “Whenever a creature you control dies, each opponent sacrifices a creature.”
Yurlok can get you the mana to play this during another player’s turn, then mana burn anyone who didn’t have a way to spend the mana. Plus, if they keep removing Yurlok or your other creatures, they’ll have to lose a creature too. Or, flash this in before someone does a selective board wipe for a nasty surprise.

‘Dictate of the Twin Gods’, a Magic the Gathering card from the set ‘Journey to Nix’. Three Mana of any colors, plus two red mana, gets you an enchantment with Flash. This can be played at Instant speed, or during your turn if you want. “If a source would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage to that permanent or player instead.”
Yurlok can get you the mana to play this during another player’s turn, then mana burn anyone who didn’t have a way to spend the mana. This damage is also doubled, so it can be a nasty shock. Plus, if one player isn’t careful during Blocks, flashing this in can ruin their board (while also devastating the attacker’s board, if you’re nasty).

‘Dictate of Karametra’, a Magic the Gathering card from the set ‘Journey to Nix’. Three Mana of any colors, plus two green mana, gets you an enchantment with Flash. This can be played at Instant speed, or during your turn if you want. “Whenever a player taps a land for mana, that player adds one mana of any type that land produced.”

Yurlok can get you the mana to play this during another player’s turn, then mana burn anyone who didn’t have a way to spend the mana. Plus, you can skip the turn of a problem player, giving everyone else the chance to use double mana first. Combine this with the big costing and X spells Yurlok appreciates anyways, and you’ll have plenty of fun.

“Patriar’s Seal”, a Magic the Gathering Card from “Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate”.
This 3 mana rock can tap for one, which isn’t the most unique thing to do. What it can do that’s interesting is pay 1, then Untap a Legendary Creature you control.

You can Yurlok on someone’s turn, then spend one of that mana to Untap Yurlok to be able to go again, or just not mana burn yourself as badly. If you’re using this as a political tool, that’s six mana you’re giving someone, while still having four up for your own tricks.
