Brimaz, Blight of Oreskos
The compleated version of a legend who first arrived as a white token-maker, Brimaz, King of Oreskos: the corruption from Oreskos protector to Phyrexian evangelist is written into the card's mechanical DNA. Where the original built a board of Cat Soldiers off combat, this incarnation feeds on the Phyrexian and artifact-creature spells you cast, sizing each Incubator to the cast spell's mana value so bigger threats leave bigger husks waiting to flip. The incubate design does something deliberate with deferred value: the token arrives inert, demanding two mana and a decision before it becomes a body, which turns every Phyrexian spell into a slow-burn second payoff rather than a free creature. The end-step proliferate closes the loop without shortcutting the transformation cost, which stays a flat whatever you do. Instead proliferate stacks more +1/+1 counters onto those dormant Incubators, so a token that does flip arrives larger, and it advances any other counter you happen to be sitting on: planeswalker loyalty, oil, whatever the deck traffics in. What makes the two triggers cohere is that they point at the same axis. Cast Phyrexians, let them die, and the end-step proliferate keeps the counter-based engine ticking upward without a single dedicated payoff card. This is a legendary build-around organized around a tribe, giving the Phyrexian identity a leader whose halves feed each other instead of bolting two unrelated effects into one legendary slot.
