After seeing what happened to Mirrodin, the flavor text makes me wonder if the line about his "blood" infecting the land spells future disaster for Dominaria.

I can't think of any other card that has this much utility for this little opportunity cost. Playing multicolored black? This takes care of a big chunk of you mana fixing. Got lands without mana abilities (even if you're not playing black)? Well, now they do. Got any nonbasics, and anything that counts the number of swamps you have? This will help. Swampwalk creatures? Now they're unblockable. And it fits painlessly into any deck that runs black: Just replace one swamp with it.

One good synergy would be using this with other lands that profit from Swamps like Cabal Coffers, or the Tainted cycle for multicolored decks.
Or you could use Filth to make your creatures unblockable.
And you'll have some suicide fun if you combine this one by spashing white with Stern Judge, or even Karma if you are able to reverse the damage.
Kormus Bell would turn every land into 1/1 creatures with that tomb - possibly you'd then also like using Goblin Sharpshooter with this one as well to cause a one-sided Armageddon.
And this card can of course turn any Lands that do not produce mana into useful mana accel.
The latest and likely most effective use of this card for example, as aforementioned by Pantheon, is playing this on turn one in order to play Dark Depths and immediately Vampire ... (see all)

Even when he's dead, Yawgmoth makes powerful cards.

Don't forget that it makes itself a swamp, so its not just there for looks.

it makes swamps. A great build-around-me card. The art too is exquisite

There's almost no reason that you shouldn't run at least one in any deck with black in it; just take out a Swamp and put one of these in. Making your Islands and Forests into duals is a small but real advantage.

Wow, swamp walk suddenly turned killer!

This lets you use cards like Corrupt in a multicolor deck.
Use this for a first turn to Entomb Filth.
