Our Journey Through Phyrexia Is Almost Complete It’s been a long journey getting here. We’ve looked at many Phyrexia cards and seen a few themes arise and the potential for new and exciting decks. Now, all that’s left is to round things out by looking at the artifacts and lands—but only the ones with unique… Read More »
The Horrors Of Phyrexia Keeps Growing Stronger Unlike some sets, the Planeswalkers are probably the least interesting additions in the multicolored section for Phyrexia: All Will Be One. Sure, the often-flexible mana cost and storyline aspects are intriguing, but I was mostly underwhelmed by them. The random legendary creatures and cheap aggro options, though? Those… Read More »
We Have Yet To View The Full Horrors Of Phyrexia Like I said in the red Phyrexia: All Will Be One article, green got a worrying amount of powerful new cards. And most aren’t even high-mana-cost bombs. They’re just strong mid-range/aggro options with good abilities and reasonable mana costs. There’s nothing like a Questing Beast… Read More »
Yet More Horrors Of Phyrexia Continue To Spread Sadly, my favorite color of Magic, red, probably got the worst of the lot in Phyrexia: All Will Be One. Very few cards are powerful enough to see play outside of that one combo for Commander (which I didn’t even include on the list because the core… Read More »
Phyrexia Has Even Further Horrors For Us To Meet I’ve been playing a lot of Mono-Black Devotion in Explorer lately, so I’m particularly excited about the new cards in this color. Strong removal and interesting ways to steal life from your opponent are a winning combination, and between that and some spicy reprints, this’ll be… Read More »
Let Us Again Return To Phyrexia For More Horrors And we’re back! On a Thursday, no less! I said this was a special event, didn’t I? Next week, starting Monday, we’ll be going over the remaining colors (and more) one article at a time, basically until the release of Phyrexia: All Will Be One. And… Read More »
Let’s Start Our Quest Into The Dangerous Phyrexia And here I thought The Brothers’ War was a powerful set. Phyrexia: All Will Be One is ridiculous. They put Phyrexian mana, poison counters, and a lot of superb cards from older sets into this one. It’ll cause absolute chaos on the ladder for a long time,… Read More »
#4: Dominaria United Gave Mono-Red Power Yes, I’ve said similar before, but Dominaria United brought Lightning Strike back, and that changes everything. We’ve had this shift where most burn spells can’t target players. If they give us a second aggressively costed direct damage spell, things will sing. Mono-Red already got a critical mass of creatures… Read More »
Dominaria United Introduced Some Powerhouses Did anyone else feel we had a reasonable amount of time between Dominaria United and the last set? Because I’ve been excited about this one. Funnily, the set only introduced a few cards that specifically appealed, but I’m still pleased by the shakeup. And it has been quite the shakeup. A… Read More »
