New Phyrexia as partially quoted from DailyMTG :
What a perfect summarization of the latest Magic the Gathering set.
Phyrexians serve a similar function to the extraterrestrials in alien invasion movies: mysterious outsiders we can’t talk to who have completely alien moral systems and don’t care about our well-being one iota. Now that they have won, they’re free to do whatever they want to Mirrodin. The things they do, for contrast’s sake, should be things that we wouldn’t have seen happening beforehand. Seeing as the Phyrexians are an amoral and viral swarm of mechanical monsters seemingly controlled by a hive mind intent on taking over the Multiverse, they’re bound to stumble across some actions that strike normal humans like us as violating and transgressive.
Phyrexia doesn’t care about you. It cares so little about you, in fact, that it doesn’t even get a buzz out of making you sad. It just wants to win, and hiding your card in my deck doesn’t really help me win. It just makes you sad.
One can’t say this wasn’t coming. Our lives are gonna be consumed by this writing, expanding and completing bastion of evil. Through the myriad of MTG sets, New Phyrexia has finally burst forth and took Mirrodin by storm. Players, get ready to use to the Phyrexian mana symbol for at least the next few months, if not for the foreseeable future. Putting Porcelain Legionnaire into green decks, or Cathedral Membrane into black decks surely will be interesting. Mental Misstep will be the rage for a while. Its gonan be a bumpy road of removal, infect, and various strategies mixing up the colors as well. It may turn Magic on its head, and one might as well throw your color pie out the window until the revelation of M12.
Just remember to save two life for whatever comes down the road.
