Well, tiny lore drop:
-
Svogthos, the Restless Tomb was shattered during the Phyrexian Invasion by Realmbreaker from the then Compleated Vraska.
-
The Sisters of Stone Death, namely three Gorgons by the names of Ludmilla, Lexya and Lydya, the latter two were killed by Savra, Queen of the Golgari, and Ludmilla is presumed dead, although not confirmed.
-
Both Savra, Queen of the Golgari and Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, sister Savra was killed by Szadek, Lord of Secrets then her body possessed by the spirit of Svogthir, the Golgari Parun (founder), then smooshed by Experiment Kraj. Brother Jarad was first killed by Lyzolda, the Blood Witch, then necromanced back into his corpse to then be killed by Vraska, with the help of Jarga, a troll, Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest, and Xeddick, another Kraul.
-
Vraska, Golgari Queen is obviously off and romping about the multiverse with Jace Beleren and Loot, the Key to Everything. So she's not really in command at the moment. Matter of fact, following the Phyrexian Invasion, pretty much every former Golgari leader denounced her as their leader, as during the Invasion, the Golgari were the first Compleated Guild to rampage across the surface, so they were summarily punished and ostracized from Ravnica.
And so, that leaves us, after all those wordy words, to the only real appropriate options...
Svogthos, Splintered Tomb
Legendary Land - Swamp Forest
Whenever ~ enters, mill 5.
At the beginning of your endstep, if there are 4 or more creature cards in your graveyard, you may exile ~ and return it to the battlefield transformed.
, Mill 2: Add .
"Svogthos, shattered in twain by the Phyrexian upshoot, acts now as the only solace for the disgraced Golgari Swarm. None but the Swarm gather there, dutifully attempting to retain the crypt's former visage."
Izoni, Heir to the Swarm ()
Legendary Creature - Elf Shaman
Whenever ~ enters or a land is put into your graveyard from anywhere, you create a 1/1 Black and Green Insect creature Token. This ability triggers once each turn.
, Tap any number of untapped Insects or Spiders you control: Return target creature with mana value equal to or less than the amount of creatures tapped this way from your graveyard to the battlefield. That creature becomes a Plant Zombie instead of its other types.
"Vraska is gone and has betrayed the Swarm. It deserves one willing to foster and nurture the betrayed. Not one who uses it as a mere title."
4/4
Sorry for the Lore Dump, but challenge is to redo this challenge, but for another guild! Perhaps Dimir? or Rakdos?

Vivien, Herald of the Boar
Legendary Planeswalker - Vivien
Legendary creatures you control have "When this creature dies, you may put it into your library third from the top."
+1 Look at the top three cards of your library. You may reveal a creature from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom in any order.
-1 You may put a legendary creature card from your hand onto the battlefield, and it gains haste until end of turn. If you do, sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.

Partner with Ilharg, God of the Wilds
Ilharg, God of the Wilds
Whenever ~ enters or attacks, reveal the top three cards of your library. You may put any number of permanent cards from among them onto the battlefield. Put an additional loyalty counter onto each planeswalker that enters the battlefield in this way.
Planeswalkers you control have hexproof and "If this permanent would die, put it into your library third from the top instead."
Partner with Vivien, Herald of the Boar.
5/6
That was fun! Next, create a team-up (partner, or just one card for both characters) of any two of the Golgari leadership.
Svogthos, the Restless Tomb
Sisters of Stone Death
Savra, Queen of the Golgari
Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord
Vraska, Golgari Queen

Oh, I didn't realize that deck was yours' as well. Great deck :D
The gorgon deck is quite fun indeed. It could even have a version of Shelob in Sisters of Stone Death. I made my Shelob a fight club deck. That was...something. In case you'd go that route, Livewire Lash is quite the house with fight spells.
To close this comment: Thanks for upvoting my snakes :)

Hi if someone has attacked me on their turn and two of their creatures are tapped, can I target those tapped creatures with Sisters of Stone Death abilities and force them to block or can tapped creatures never block? (Unless someone has a Masako the Humorless in play or something similar?

Szadek, the Mind Drinker 2
Legendary Planeswalker - Szadek
+1 Target player mills 2
0 Tap up to two target creatures
-1 Exile up to five cards in a graveyard
-7 You get an emblem with “whenever you cast a spell, target player mills cards equal to that spell’s mana value and whenever an opponent casts a spell, he or she mills cards equal to that spell’s mana value.

Take another legendary creature from a different guild in the original Ravnica and make a guild mechanic planeswalker. I believe Vraska the Unseen was inspired by Sisters of Stone Death but I could be wrong.

Love the design, as I've wanted to build Sisters of Stone Death for quite a while. But I noticed something: You keep on using the wording "whenever ~ destroys a creature", but there's actual defined meaning to that. Is it meant to be the Sengir Vampire ability? Would giving her a pinger ability plus deathtouch count? How about combat? Fight spells? Nobody knows. What counts as "agency" of the creature?

Hi cyeRunner, thanks for the suggestions.
I have added Bloodbraid Elf.
Personally I think Sedgemoor Witch is gorgeous!! Love the foreground, background, everything! The girl has real presence. Strangely, there looks like something is wrong with her eyes when I zoom ALL the way in (eyebrows to short? to much mascara maybe?). Alway, I still love that one. It's in.
I'm going to let the others go. Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni feels like stepping into furries (another short step and descend to crinkling)
Sisters of Stone Death is good art work but I had to stop and read the text to find that the girl is not actually being attacked.
Spellstutter Sprite is... ...can I say lazy. Don't get me wrong, I like different styles and I'm sure this artist has done other great staff but I'm not into this one. The wings are doing nothing, like she is not even in the air. The background is real lazy. Her toes are just a way for the artist to shortcut their work and not even bother. Why are her antenna going through her tiara? Did she drill holes in it? Also nothing original or risk taking in it.
Thanks all the same : )
