How big of a loss will phryxian mana be in standard?  I'm thinking it's gonna be a huge loss. No more payin life to use off color cards.

I think it will make standard better for the casual players not for competative thow

Nope shock lands. You will still be able to pay life.

Phyrexian mana ruined games. It was such stupid advantage, like {Dismember}, {Phyrexian Metamorph}, {Mental Misstep}, {Gut Shot}. They should never make cards that let you spend life instead of mana.

Free spell cards are always a bad idea. It effect games on different levels, but in the case of Phyrexian mana it made it worse cuz any deck can run them. In a way I'm glad they will be gone. It makes ppl have to find new ways to put kill or draw in the deck that isn't free.

[BlackJester]

I thought it was a cool idea because of that reason.
Phyrexia: "We'll give you access to abilities beyond your color."🌀
Me: "Great!  You guys are super-duper!"😊
P: "We just ask one thing in return."😌
M: ???
P: "Sacrifice a bit of life. NBD"😏
M: "You got it!" 👌

If they would have made it where one mana cost 4 life. Or 5 i think then it would have been better

[Dudecore]

Philosophically I disagree. I don't think you should pay life instead of mana ({phyrexian mana}), I don't think a creatures only drawback should be its mana cost ({Primeval Titan}), and I don't think they should have counters you can't remove (Infect).

They seemed to have violated all of my principles in 1 block :P

Sounds to me like you hate magic: the gathering! ;)

Long live Phyrexia! :D

[Dudecore]

I wish the Phyrexians would fight the Eldrazi, then we don't have to deal with either of them anymore.

And I love MtG, like anything you "love" you get let down sometimes. :)

Duel Deck: Phyrexia Vs. Eldrazi.

Yes. Yes I would buy that.

Dismember- gave rdw an answer for {kor firewalker}
Phyrexian metamorph- ok really good
Misstep-?i never really saw once m12 came out.
Gut shot- don't remember seeing it played to just recently.
And every other phyrexian mana card flat out suck. Maybe hex parasite but no where close to what it tried to replace. ({vampire hexmage}).

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, because I loved all three of those. I DO think letting Prime Time fetch two of any land and not just basic broke him. Meh.

If he only grabbed basics he wouldn't of been more expensive the sun Titan.

[Richardalcala]

I don't mind paying for life. I am just glad to see {memorcide} and {surgical extraction} go. It's like and buy the way lets get rid of your win con and let me see what else you got in your deck. I can't stand those cards.
