Does this replace [[Outland Liberator]] in Yawgmoth? I really hope it does, because keeping track of the Day/Night cycle in modern is annoying, especially since both players are required to keep track of it.

I would think that the Proliferate seems better than the ability to turn into a 3/3 and destroy artifacts when attacking. Sometimes, you might situationally want to Proliferate your board to push for lethal (you do this sometimes with Yawgmoth's proliferate ability), so having this option built in seems pretty decent.

In my experience playing hammer the Outland liberator flip from the yawg deck is very relevant in the matchup. Becomes almost impossible for hammer to win if that happens so I think giving up that upside would be asking a lot. I'm not sure how relevant the flip is into other matchups where you want artifact/enchantment hate but that's one of the most prevalent in the meta so I imagine it would be a big consideration for yawg players

Pretty sure Yawgmoth already made the swap to Haywire Mite. Although Cankerbloom is likely better than Outland Liberator, it's definitely not better than Haywire Mite.

Haywire mite should have a firm grasp on that slot

Just worse than mite or liberator. Mite is cheaper and exiles and liberator flipping is way more relevant than profilerating once.
