Mirrodin Besieged Discussion Part 3: Perfection is Phyrexia

As the title obviously states this is the discussion on the phyrexian spoilers which have not been confirmed but are good to go pretty much, there are quite a few of these to speculate on and we will begin with the most confirmed of the phyrexian cards so it's either join us or perish and become a part of the great work, let us begin perfection at it's finest

Now this will probably be a long article since there is a bit of artwork and even some cards to speculate on however that being said let us begin with the card only known as Phyrexian Rebirth, this sounds like a spell that returns a infect card and the image of the card is below as per always


Now this seems to be a spell and not a creature, it probably does the following few things
Phyrexian Rebirth :symb::symb:
Instant - (U)
Return target infect card from your graveyard to the battlefield, target card has haste and must be sacrificed at the end of turn, this in turn sounds like something phyrexians would do in general for the fact they love to destroy and salvage things out of the mess they leave behind, in this case it's a creature with infect or so i would like to believe however my next card on the list has a entirely different persepctive on things of course and that is Phyrexian Hydra, recently spoiled on a intro pack of course and it is a rare i can tell since the hydra i use commonly, Protean Hydra is also a rare debunked from a mythic rare status in the latest core set, as always though speculation could prove to be false in the long run, however here's how i think this beast will end up turning out to be.

Phyrexian Hydra :2mana::symb::symg:
Creature - Mutant Hydra (R)
Infect (This permament deals damage in the form of -1/-1 counters to creatures and poison counters to players)
Trample
3/5 speculation aside from this one there is no picture to talk about this one yet, though i imagine in about a week or two there will be one of these to discuss as per usual, now let's move onto a certain father of machines that isn't yawgmoth and i as always am talking about Karn, Father of Machines, no doubt about this one it's gonna be mythic rarity and a artifact since karn has always been imprisoned inside a steel shell for most of his existence in the storyline except for a few minor occasions, he is battling the obvious infection of the phyrexian oil and is sure to be one bad ass card when it is revealed, warning the follow speculation may offend some viewers of the blog.

Karn, Father of Machines :7mana:
Legendary Creature - Artifact Golem (MR)
Infect, Trample
Whenever Karn deals combat damage to a player he/she discards all cards in their hand
:2mana:: Return target infect card from the graveyard to your hand.
5/5 now i hope that's pretty basic for you since we could see karn with infect but then again we couldn't see infect as being put on him since another phyrexian mythic rare, Glissa, The Traitor doesn't have infect but instead deathtouch and first strike, but that's another card entirely and i've already discussed it in a previous article of this series. There are quite a few new cards in this set and believe me i cannot wait to see them, however there is one more card i wish to talk about and that is of course Bonehoard another one of phyrexia's creations of art which also a photo to be shown below


Now the speculation begins on this card is it a creature? you bet your ass it is, what does it do vergil well let me tell you ok simmer down here, bonehoard is another of phyrexia's creations that spreads the oil and that it's basically a machination to carry stuff here's how i think the card will go down.

Bonehoard :2mana::symb:
Creature - Machination (U)
Infect, Deathtouch
3/2

Now this is pretty much all i give speculation on as a photo only takes things so far, however the next article i will talk about somewhat possible cards and some legendaries, stay tuned and all will become one or so one would hope, this is vergil signing off.
