New Phyrexia Buy a Box Promotion Card

So with the 3rd set pretty much being a 90/10 ratio for phyrexians everywhere it's about time we got ourselves a phyrexian buy a box promotion card, now some might question this and all that but i sure as heck don't personally, this block we've seen a Knight for a buy a box promo that kicks some serious butt in standard, A black spell that does basically a Cranial Extraction and now we are seeing the return of another very good black spell in the form of Extirpate so with that being said, ladies and gentlemen presenting Surgical Extraction 




Surgical Extraction) It contains the new phyrexian mechanic of Paying 2 life or paying that color's mana cost so let's see, Choose target card in a graveyard other then a basic land. Search it's owner's graveyard, library and hand for any number of cards with the same name as that card and exile them. Then that player shuffles his or her library.

So personally i expect this to be 5 or 6 bucks off the bat, since Extirpate this days is going for a decent 12 dollars per copy of the card and well this is basically the new standard variant of the card with a new set mechanic which is pretty decent and all that. Also the artwork is kinda shoddy personally as a card art person well it could have been better but this is what their giving us, this card is also #74 of 175 of this set for collector's purposes and as such i'm sure there will be a few out there who wish to collect this puppy.

Now however since we've seen the buy a box promotion card which last set was spoiled late december/Early January of this year, so technically it's about the time they do this again, but that rounds the total for 2 black cards and 1 white cards for the entire block of promotion, yes i am keeping a running tally, that's all for now this time folks, this is vergil signing off
