Phyrexian C has protection from 2 very relevant removal colors. It also has protection from Doom Blade, leaving the only color likely to affect it being blue. Also, the impact of having Infect on a First Striker is quite relevant. It will survive from any 3 Power creature, and it will kill any 2 toughness creature without first/double strike.
Mirran C has protection from infect basically (B/G), which could become relevant if MBS gives infect more new toys to make it a real threat. It can kill trade with 4 toughness creatures, kill almost any 3 toughness one. It has a tribe that is trying to become competitive, but its pro-colors are more dependent on what cards are printed.
Phyrexian C has the advantage atm, simply due to its protection being 2 colors of removal. Mirran C may move above if infect becomes an "infection" in standard, or if MW Knights become a competitive aggro deck.

Protection from most infect. Infect is also on artifacts, and come MBS it'll be on white cards like the Priests of Norn.
Then have him eat Nicol Bolas and the Magic universe can be awesome again. He takes over the Infinite Consortium and turns it into a trans-multiverse Izzet League. His agents scour the multiverse in Venser's planeships looking for magic to learn, technology to improve upon, and less intelligent people to condescend to.
Isn't the pricing obvious? This is presale season. Ben is very accurate on his predictions of what is good, but it only has some reference on prices. Remember he is running a business. In general, the Mirran one is better, but it is negible difference since poison is getting pushed. However, he will price at whatever people will pay. Infect like certain tribal is the sort of thing to get the casual player all excited before all the cards are spoiled. If the demand stays up he will take the money from all those stupid enough to pay it.
This isn't the past. As long as there are chase Mythics no rare is gonna stabilize over $7 unless they are fetchland good. Pretty much every rare will be under $3. So no one is making a steal here. Neither Crusader is that good.
