MTG Salvation

Based on their keyrune, it looks like the Golgari are a fan of Dead Space.

I like it. Just playing it normally, it isn't as good as the others. Against the right kind of deck, it could be better than the others.

Not sure if this has been guessed already, or maybe even on the angel page, but think this means we get a cycle of bomb mythics with three of their color in their cost? So far the wurm, the angel and this.

Moonfolk are lame, I hope it's not one of em. Didn't actually look at the pic though.

The demon's boiling water, patiently awaiting his overdue feast.

Also, on a side note, is it just me or does that Sorin look like Brüno in a Halloween costume?

I don't find anything about this art appealing. It's really disproportionate like a moden day Picasso piece, and let's be honest, Picasso's art looks like somebody finger painted in vomit, and poorly at that.

Even though plays like Elish Norn after this card would be obvious and people wouldn't pay mana because of it, you could just drop her at some point before then pay XW for X 3/3 tokens.

Well, Surgical Extraction just spoiled. Phyrexian mana can be on non artifact cards too. Let more speculation begin!

Quote from Smokestack

This I believe is important. What kind of Wrath would you want to use in a weenie deck? Something like...

1BBPhyBPhyB
Sorcery
Destroy all creatures. For each creature destroyed this way, that creature's controller put an X/X (color) Horror token onto the battlefield.

Edit: Phyrexian Purple? Phurplexian

That was talking about rebirth.


Also, I don't think it's Slagstorm or any other card in the block already because they also say we should keep our eyes out for censored, well know it when it shows up or something along those lines.

Anyway, it'd be senseless to censor the name of a card we already know.

Quote from Virago

Since the other 2 wraths in the set were Phyrexian, you think maybe this one should be Mirran, even if it is black?

They consider Elspeth one of em. Not that that has to matter when it comes down to it.

Maybe a wrath card that costs 4 *** or Dmntion style then an additional two phyRexian mana. Like 2ww(pw)(pw) or 2bb(pb)(pb)

Yeah. If it weren't for the fact that Black Sun's Zenith exists and I had to guess a board clearing card for Phyrexia it would be -1/-1 counters.

This thought seems waaaaay out there, but its different, so off the top of my head:


Phyrexian Killstuff Card 3BB

Sacrifice all creatures you control.
Creatures get -x/-x until end of turn where x is the sacrificed creatures total power.

Edit:
Wouldnt be too much of a drawback if you were wiping the board anyway, but it would require having things to lose.

Not that the ability isn't fairly common as it is, but its suggested in todays article "Halfway Completed" that there will be at least one wrath effect card in New Phyrexia, possibly black.

The discussion regarding Phyrexian Rebirth:

EVL 3/10: New card from Phyrexian team.
Sw 3/11: This feels really black...perhaps make the creature a spirit? Or something like that?
ZH 3/11: I love this.
AF 3/19: I love it too, but I love [:)CENSORED:)] more. How can we make both? Should one be black?
TML 3/19/2010: [:)CENSORED:)] feels black to me.
KEN 3/21/2010: This is white if it makes a holy X/X Avatar token, but not Phyrexian flavor. Could be 4BB make an X/X Demon. If the token flies, could reuse Pete Venters demon token (Reiver Demon look-alike). Then I wonder why not make a guy that ETB Wrath like Reiver Demon?
RBM 3/23: Awesome! A wrath for my white weenie deck. Thematically fun, although agreed that a white horror is strange (unless you're talking about me on the dance floor.)
KD 3/23: This feels "white Phyrexian" to me. Black could have a card like this in any block, but the white version only makes sense here. That makes me want it to be white, but YMMV.
MR (3/25/10): I like cards like this for white Phyrexian. It's white but it's not something we'd normally do in white.
ZH 4/5: I like this card, but Elspeth/This/[:)CENSORED:)] is a whole lot of Wraths. We just need to be on the lookout for lots of similar effects.


They also say in the article that [CENSORED] doesn't refer to black sun's zenith. Any thoughts?

It has prolly been said in the 16 pages that I don't feel like reading in detail, but the cleric lady might have an ability to become a demon or something to do with a demon cuz one of it's texts looks to end with "mon"
