Magic: The Gathering/Fridge: Difference between revisions

** My basic thought upon seeing the various "seals" of Ravnica (which were basically instants like Terror and Shock redone as enchantments that would have the effect when sacrificed) was "hmm, vaguely interesting, but it does mean the opponent knows what's coming". Then I remembered one of the guilds of Ravnica thrives on having no cards in your hand, meaning that having a spell sitting out in the open in enchantment form waiting to be used is actually a tactical advantage. - [[User:Count Dorku]]

** Necrogen Scudder was the only Phyrexian card in Scars of Mirrodin that didn't feature infect, proliferate, -1/-1 counters, or other Phyrexian mechanics and was not legendary like Geth. But it does require you pay 3 life. The Mirrans got all the lifegain, and a card which prevents life loss altogether, while Phyrexians got most of the life payment. But then you realize that Phyrexians don't care about life (since they win by poison counters) and are happy to pay it, as shown by Phyrexian mana cards.

*** No, it's even better: it's a blow-up doll! — [[User:Troacctid]]

** The phyrexian factions were shown out of place in the Planeswalker's Guide; instead of the usual WUBRG, it was WBUGR. While it was arguably to make the [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much|Red phyrexians' goodness]] an epic reveal, it can also be indicative of which colours are more naturally phyrexian, starting with the [[Light Is Not Good|highly dogmatic and organised White]] and ending with the freedom loving Red.
