Warriors, torch-bearers, come redeem our dreams
Shine a light upon this night of otherworldly fiends
Odin's might be your guide, divorce you from the sane
Hammer's way will have its say, rise up in their name
Scratching hag, you rake your claws, gnash your crooked teeth
You've taken slaves like ocean waves, now feel the ocean seethe
- Children of the Elder Gods by Poets of the Fall
Well, we know Elspeth's homeworld was partially controlled by Phyrexians. And she did some fairly messed up stuff in service to her Phyrexian overlords. And there is a planeswalker who manifests peoples nightmares who we have been told is interested in Elspeth...I almost want to say this was expected, but it's more of it was a very reasonable possibility.

Oh this is what it is and isn't the first time, Xenagos (with help from a Phenax priest) tricked Elspeth into killing Daxos by using nightmare magic to make her think he was Obliterator (book even calls it that).

“There are no weak Jews. I am descended from those who wrestle angels and kill giants. We were chosen by God. You were chosen by a pathetic little man who can't seem to grow a full mustache"
"You can tell how dumb someone is by how they use Mary Sue"
So its clearly meant to be a saga, based on the events of Godsend where Elspeth was tricked into killing her lover Daxos in believing he was a Phyrexian Negator.

To be fair, you can't get much more devoted to black for 4 cmc than Phyrexian Obliterator.
