Can't say I'm really shocked by this news. Thoughts?

I hope they use Phyrexian as a new language.

Phyrexia wins, but Mirrodin changes the Phyrexians. We'll see how this turns out.

I'm predicting civil war, as each faction fights for dominance.

Mirrans get slaughtered and Phyrexia fights among themselves, until one side wins.

I'm hoping either white Phyrexia or Blue Phyrexia win, white cause really the whole look and feel is just super creepy cool, and blue cause of the we know all feel...

They actually gave this away quite a while ago, just not sure anyone caught it. When discussing set mechanics they mentioned the first set had 20+ proliferate cards, but it was latter trimmed down to 4 cards to allow the mechanic to expand into the next 2 sets. Proliferate being in the third set = Phyrexia winning.

He will regardless be called Karn, the Trade Fodder. So I wouldn't worry about it!

Norn just seems like a really unfun to play against EDH general also.

Unfun is sorta of whites theme for mono-colored EDH...

Crovax, Iona, Reya? None of them are really fun to play agianst...and thats not even counting lock down generals.

I like Karn, the mind sculptor myself..

Reya doesn't seem that bad IMO. I mean, yeah it has a sick ability, but it takes a ton of mana to cast, and has no immediate effect on the board. At least not like this new guy does.

I remember them saying that the first set would have 80% mirran watermarks and 20% phyrexian watermark, the second set would contain 50/50 and the third one would be 20% mirran and 80% phyrexian. SO it was pretty obvious.

I couldn't. It's too powerful for WOTC's current vision.

I think he was joking. Someone always brings up Dark Ritual being reprinted in every set.

WOTC, do not reprint Dark Ritual, you will only make it ugly, and it is beautiful.
