Was just reprinted in Commander, but I'm certainly not complaining about more Phyrexian Arena to go around. Is that Koth in the new art? Can't quite tell.
Yes it is the lonely resistance fighter Koth, still fighting the loneliest fight ever, while everyone else has either joined the club or was reduced to spare parts.
I’m always glad when we get a glimpse of him still being alive, want to see that guy again, he is an interesting character.

Everything is coming up aces with another fine Commander reprint, a nice throwback to Koth and some nice dark art as well. Loving it!

The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
Great to see. Never understood why this doesn't see play in modern but Bob does.
I understand Bob is a body and one mana cheaper. But on average Bob does 1.3 damage or so to a jund player. Bob also gives your opponent much more info about your hand and Bob is much easier to remove.
I get Bob is a great card but arena seems a reasonable alternative considering its upsides are great for only one more mana.
Inb4 we see Koth in Kaladesh and he accidentally brings a drop of phyrexian oil, corrputing the plane which causes an Aether Revolt.
New New Phyrexia after Aether Revolt incomming you say?
Yes. I think it makes sense. I mean what other world do we really care about or need to see? Ravnica, Theros, Khans, Innistrad and Zendikar have all been revisited. We're going to an artifact based world (Kaladesh). It's time to get an update on the story on Phyrexia and how its affecting the multiverse.

Koth, if I find out Kemba is dead/compleated, I will find you and I will kill you. When legends die, always blame the planeswalker because reasons.
...
...anyway, great reprint. There's always the danger of it killing you in a 20-life multiplayer grindfest but hopefully you can win before it kills you.

If that's Koth, then this is a New Phyrexian Arena.

Still too damm high
And that's why we have this totally random reprint of Phyrexian Arena.
(NOTE: This may or may not have happened with Inquisition of Kozilek as well, just replace "new art" with "MSRP too high" )
Selling some cards I don't want.
Generally less than tcg mid.

...anyway, great reprint. There's always the danger of it killing you in a 20-life multiplayer grindfest but hopefully you can win before it kills you.
