I have been so excited for the new Phyrexia set that I have been having dreams of a new Yawgmoth card coming into play.
From what I have heard through fan theories, Yawgmoth could return by making his way to the present to take over New Phyrexia. As result, the theory goes that he will consume the powers of all of the modern phyrexian praetors and have an iron grasp on all 5 colors.
I loved that theory and decided to create a Yawgmoth card to kind of represent what could come of this theory if it actually goes to plan.
Some things to note:
As I have read of Yawgmoth basically being a god of black and embodying all of Phyrexia, I thought it would be appropriate to make him an mono black enchantment creature with a 5 color identity (or possibly an artifact enchantment creature since he creates mechanical flesh abominations).
The idea of the cmc being X with the 3 phyrexian black seemed like an interesting concept, as realistically a being of this magnitude would require a hefty cost to use such power. And the optional sacrificial payout emphasizes that concept.
I would figure being an extremely powerful god would be very hard to get rid of, so indestructible would be an obvious choice, and shroud to emphasize the ability to remove him or even target him.
Obviously being the first phyrexian, would allow to give all of his subordinates infect.
His ability would be five color phyrexian mana after absorbing the power of all the new phyrexian praetors, and a few of the options use the life payment to your advantage. Though I may consider paying X additional life as well so it seems more fitting.
To conclude I would love to see a mono-black 5-color identity commander, and the possibility of Yawgmoth coming back to deal with New Phyrexia could make this worth while. Though I want to know if this concept of a card could work in a real life setting. Is it to powerful? please let me know.
(also I do not know who the artist was who made the yawgmoth painting)
