:dons nerd cap:

Well, in a technical sense, phyrexians don't have a reproductive process anything like ours, so I don't think any can be considered "male" or "female"

:doffs nerd cap:

But yes, in each depiction elesh norn is referred to as a "she" AFAIR.

White is about the society. Buffing your own while hurting the others is an acceptable white strategy. Crovax, Ascendant Hero.

Maybe promos?
I am absolutely ready to make proxies anyway.

Glad Phyrexian won like i thought. Elesh and the cenobites are absolutely gorgeous. I don't actually know much about Karn, but i'm obsessed with artifacts and Phyrexia and they will make a great couple.

edit: Elesh is a bit out of color with the massacre effect, i would totally have guessed (and maybe prefer for logical reasons alone) she'd be black with a slightly white ability were i only told her abilities. She has white p/t and the glorious anthem though. I really like her in white a lot better than i would black. Why doesn't she have infect though, loike her priests from the last set?

Not just 9 PW, 9 demi-god PW's, not the weaker ones now, Phyrexians seem a good fight for our new PW's seeing how they basically trashed them back when being a PWer mattered.

Well, as wizards is making clear, Phyrexia + Yawgmoth (the black-aligned, nigh-unstoppable force of destruction that was vanquished in the weatherlight saga) is LEAGUES stronger than just Phyrexia (the 5-color force on mirrodin).

Am I the only one that's thinking that most of these cards are awesome, at least for casual or EDH?

1) This correlates with the suspicion that the announcement of New Phyrexia last tuesday wasn't how Wizards wanted to debut the news, but rather was a hastily done reveal to pre-empt the information being spoiled by another source.
2) As Mark Rosewater stated at the end of the GDS2, the "phyrexian mana" mechanic is eerily similar to one of the mechanics the applicants submitted (the gold counter theme).

Crovax, Ascendant Hero is from a set with a different alternate timeline. Gatherer it. There's like not many at all. Holy light? Otherwise...can ya name some cards from white that give negative counters?

Everytime I think a new card is OP/broken and will break the format, I remind myself about Upwelling when it was first spoiled and people were crying about how it is OP/broken. Have some faith in WoTC.

There's a difference: These cards are not confirmed to be real. If/When WOTC verifies these cards, I'll trust that they aren't broken. Until then, no. These strike me as too powerful, and the only thing that will change my mind is Wizard's seal of approval.
