As it is a younger, pre-Phyrexia Yawgmoth, the card is acceptable. The article does contain one error about him though (he did not create Phyrexia, he took the plane over as the creator was dead when he arrived).
It's going to be a fun card in Commander, and probably quite playable in Modern.

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
Plenty of mechanics, callbacks to old lore, power level, bold design, making cards for legendary figures we all lost hope to see one day, this set is Time Spiral divided by zero.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Ah, so I did. I'll correct my previous post. So much for the cycle, then.

We'll probably get some more legendaries in Modern Horizons 2, which is implied to be coming due to this set being called MH1. For now, I'm pretty happy with *This* one, as repeatable removal/draw on a free sac engine seems pretty damn good, even with him being as expensive as he is.

Also maro said he attempted to throw in future sight into the mix but he failed
I think MH2 might revolve around future sight with that special crystal ball like border
MY BOI! Favorite MTG character of mine finally gets a card.
He doesn't do what I expected (I was thinking something more like Bargain and Will on a very expensive stick), but this is actually more interesting in my opinion. Designing the deck for him has been really fun and interesting so far, and I think playing it will be even more so.
It's nice to finally have a Yawgmoth card to put at the helm of my Phyrexia EDH deck.
Too bad he’s mono black though
If he got the same trick as Sisay somehow then we would have Ben able to use all the phyrexian focsued cards new and old
Good news though most of the phyrexian cards are black
The other colors would add very little, while making the mana base more complex/expensive. I'd been using Sheoldred as the commander, so it's fine.
Also as a monoblack player you can be really evil and play stuff like Contamination and Infernal Darkness...if you don't mind losing your friends forever, of course.
And this will finally end once and for all the non-sense of "We will never get a post-PW Urza or God-Yawgmoth because they would be too strong to be printed etc." and I will always quote this to whoever try to ever pull that argument again.
The coming of our Dark Lord is near!
This is my favorite kind of mythic card - the kind you need to be smart about, the kind that makes you plan instead of just slamming it down on the table and bulldozing everyone.
But the power is real, and so is the fun.
"Your life was meaningless. But your death will glorify Yawgmoth."
Pretty good sac-creature outlet with GOOD results. Good in Limited
I can assume the Mythic Legendary Red might be Jaya and maybe the Mythic Legendary Green might be Freyalise?
Jaya was prety much always known as a walker, her time spiral card was more of a test i think. For Freyalise she was a red mage, almost a pyromancer, before becoming a pw so i guess she would fit better as a red legend.

Now if it IS a cycle, red should be Gerrard. I'm still hoping (slightly) for green to be Greensleeves, but that is unlikely.
The art is really good.
For green I’d guess Gaea. I’m not sure about red.

You forgot Ranger-Captain of Eos.

Maybe gix is the final mythic (hopefully)
Hey maybe a rare (but who are we kidding he’s strong enough to almost kill urza)
Yeah, he had a ***** of a time escaping his original title,
