5 for a 3/5 who casts odd CMC cards for free or draws 1 card. 3 relevant combat abilities, and only even-ness can stop her because she must be blocked by at least 2 creatures. EVERY WORD in her name and her flavor text has an odd number of letters.
So, the land matter deck did not have other commanders (besides Lord Windgrace) that have abilites relating to the theme, but so far the other 3 did.
Is WOTC saying that high mana cost is related to lands matter?
I am bit sad for the land matter deck, albeit the whole deck is not spoiled, it just feels disheartening not to see interactions with lands.

Gorgeous.
Ooooh, so that's why her flavor text uses "talks" instead of the more elegant "speaks"...

She also has 3 eyes, 3 horns, there are 3 vases, 3 pillars, 1 incense-thing (I'm pretty sure those actually have a name). This is Triskaidekaphobia level of extra-ness.
"For our Esper legend, we have a character whose name begins with Y...and does something with the top card of your deck involving drawing cards..."
"YES! They're finally making a Yawgmoth card! *happy tears*"
"Say hello to Yennett, a Sphinx legend you've never met before!"
"WAT "
I'm not complaining though. I don't think most players would want a high-profile villain like Yawgmoth playing second fiddle.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
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.

Yeah, it's pretty annoying that they had enough imagination for every other deck to make 2 generals based on the theme, and with Jund it's just 1.
Expensive spells doesn't mean land matters. Expensive spells usually means green matters lol.

This is exactly what caught my attention to count the letters. Normally WOTC is super grammar-conscious, which is why the "talks" stuck out to me and to you as well. Here we can see they're still super grammar-conscious, bending a grammatical rule like the artists they are.
I'd honestly expect Yawgmoth to be a DFC, with his 'human' form on the front face (in WUB) and the 'god of death' from Apocalypse mono-B on the back face.
That flavor text implies she's just making a lot of in-jokes, right? I really imagine her to be someone really obnoxious who all the time makes references to that one party she was with all her followers and making stupid puns based on something someone said last week. And after she eats someone for not solving her riddle she's all: "I guess you had to be there."

[thread=239793][Game] Level Up - Creature[/thread]
The esper Zombie and now this, seems like this set has yielded some interesting new options for some tribal stuff. I've always wanted to use my bulk sphinxes, but found that Sharuum was narrowing in the esper colour scheme. This one looks to be interesting but probably not the one that everyone builds right away.

Well done.
Card number 51/307 .. coincidence? If do this division it's 0.1771377517 .. ahh psyche, they are not that good.

Mediocre, difficult to remember stats. 3 unrelated keywords. Swingy effect... that requires attacking. Meh. Am I supposed to accelerate into this 3/5 commander?
As with so many other cards this set, it feels like a limited filler card with the complexity limiter removed because "commander"...
Maro basically said he would print Yawgmoth in Esper colors.
I agree with you as well Mono Black seems the most senseable to me, but this is were the idea came from.
Tbh I only want Yawgmoth if they make mono colored decks again and he is a super strong Mono Black Commander that's only viable in mono black. His backstory is important to how he became who he was most known for in the end, but I feel like it wouldn't be doing any justice to who he actually was.

Yay, odd CMC tribal finally has the commander it has needed ever since the printing of Void Winnower!
LOL the things we celebrate in MTG crack me up. I love this game. It's like every card has value and people actually play for fun. This kind of thing was unheard of in all my years in YGO.

I doubt any card would give him justice.
Agreed. But I down want them to sell out and make something that feels unrealistic to the expectations of the masses.

I would also expect a DFC, but more so they can make the back side of it as broken as he should be

Anyway, the art is strange. The setting looks like Theros, but the sphinx is hella ugly and not like any Theran ones.
I'm not feeling it, but it looks like some people are excited to have this, so... anyway,
