the black one seems to be swat duress and a tormod crypt effect.

White saga is strong, but not easy to cast at 5 cmc.

I feel like each chapter of the black one is not threatening enough to use targeted removal on...so you will be able to get to them all. =P

Sagas in this set depict in-world pieces of art, right? For Elspeth's Nightmare, who told the artist about Phyrexian Obliterator?

The white card name is so cringy. I can't wait to put a loyalty counter on a creature that etb with a +1/+1 counter on it.

The black saga depicts Elspeth's suffering at the hands of Phyrexians during her youth. Ashiok uses her frequent nightmares of Phyrexia against her. This is what this saga depicts.

Maybe Elspeth's nightmares are made visible in the world to others through Ashiok manifesting them as Nightmare creatures. Maybe the artist got insight through some divine visions. There are ways.
