I have been developing these two new cards as commanders.

Eternity Mage is broken with any untapped creature effect. Lord of New Phyrexia's ability seems more blue than black, maybe "pay up to X life, where X is the mana spent to cast ~, and draw that many cards." Also, Fear should be the new intimidate.

The first is really broken. The second is a bit meh. Like, Index is unplayable.

In addition to what everyone else is saying, there is no need to make these guys have quadruple colors in their costs. The second guy should probably have infect if he is lord of new phyrexia. Most commanders in EDH have specific group of card that work well with them, which the first ability of the eternity mage is, but everything else doesn't really do that. Try to slightly change these to have subtle design that would work in a deck as a whole. Lastly, 90% of legendary creatures have a name, and the ones that don't are near-shapeless monsters.

The Wizard is completely broken. Get him out on turn 3 or 4 and just take turn after turn until you win.
If the Lord were X 
and you paid X life to draw and reorder X cards, that would be pretty cool. Use him early and late game. You could even toss in put out X tapped 2/2 zombie tokens ala Army of the Dead.

Gruss029 he doesn't untap the next time. So you will still have to wait.
MagicalHacker I meant it to be Infect, not Fear, my bad.

Or Tidal Force , Mind Over Matter , Trickster Mage , Puppeteer , or Niblis of the Breath , all of which I've seen.
It wouldn't be that bad if it's first ability couldn't be activated on extra turns like Medomai the Ageless .
I like the second ability, although it could be 1U. The card cost should be at least 1UUU or 2UU for splashing into other decks.

Mage definitely needs to be worded like Medomai the Ageless and probably cost 5cmc.
Lord's ability slows the game down to much. Reordering your library is time consuming. Maybe search for ten cards and put them on top, still obnoxious but not nearly as bad.

A: these both seem REALLY broken, and B: deathtouch AND fear is a bit redundant. Other than that, I likey!
