Nethergoyf from Modern Horizons 3 is a mythic creature that thrives on the graveyard's forgotten card types. Its power scales with the card types found among cards in your graveyard, and its toughness is that number plus one. In practice, Nethergoyf grows as you recur and reuse diverse spells and permanents, turning a simple board presence into a threat that scales with your graveyard's diversity.
From a practical standpoint, Nethergoyf fits well into graveyard oriented strategies that maximize card type variety. It carries an Escape ability that lets you cast it from your graveyard for its Escape cost by exiling other cards from your graveyard with four or more card types among them. This option preserves pressure late in the game and rewards careful sequencing of your graveyard.
