Part three of Magic: The Gathering’s Phyrexian story arc is set to unravel next month in Phyrexia: All Will be One. We saw some devastating consequences falling into the hands of our beloved Planeswalkers Tamiyo and Ajani in the last sets (Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty and Dominaria United) and now, with the upcoming expansion – Phyrexia: All Will be One, 5 more Planeswalker’s are getting the compleated Phyrexian “phase-lift”.
These are the 10 Planeswalkers involved in the latest set. 5 of them are already revealed to be compleated in Magic: The Gathering’s official story page , I won’t spoil it here but if you want to know who got what, you can check this link.
With the story nearing conclusion, are we going to see Elesh Norn’s multi-plane scheme to compleation? Or will the combined effort of our planeswalkers triumph? (whoever is left, that is).
Phyrexia: All Will Be One’ card preview – Furnace Punisher
And on that note, UnGeek has another preview card sent over by our friends from Wizards of the Coast. Check out Furnace Punisher!
Furnace Punisher is a 3/3 red uncommon ‘Phyrexian Warrior’ card that’s 2 colorless and one red mana to cast.
Off the bat she has the Menace ability which makes the creature a bit more challenging to block with as it needs at least needs 2 creatures to deal with this Phyrexian. What’s interesting though is her second ability akin to the creature’s namesake as it “punishes” board states having less basic lands – dealing the player 2 damage when he or she doens’t have 2 or more basic lands. Bear in mind though, true to Phyrexian nature, this can affect all players every upkeep phase – including the player controlling it!
I can see this card in decks which can ping through an opponents life total at a constant rate, an attribute that red does very naturally.
