New Phyrexia Arts and Analysis

So it's that time again analysis and art showings for a new set and well it's time to begin with some interesting arts shown off in one of DailyMTG's articles now let's first show off art no 1.


The name of the creature depicted here is Phyrexian Metamorph, which is one of the upcoming cards in the new set, New Phyrexia, as you can clearly see he's surrounded by dark and dreary settings and has a lot of sharp points on his tentacles meaning he's really nasty, my guess is he is a infecter and has something along the lines of deathtouch based off the art, since he looks like a black creature but again i could be wrong.

Time for another art and this is one i think a lot of people will be surprised at take a look at this bad boy


This is Sheoldred, Whispering One she is apparently supposed to be in this set, surprisingly this means we are gonna have a legend heavy set, since the 5 praetors are confirmed pretty much and well we could see Karn in some form later on, she looks like a green creature to me and well if i am wrong so sue me, but there are 175 cards in this set so we could see her in some form later on, but if wizards wants us to know there are arts for this set, well it could very well happen. Next on the list is a weird art but it has some meaning to Mirran's in the form of a certain artifact creature


Does this remind anyone of anything yet, if not this is depicting Karn himself or a bust of him on some form of Altar, as Mirran's uphold him as their saviour and Phyrexians revere him as their god since the essence of Yawgmoth is in him since the time spiral block incident, this looks like it could be a artifact card probably a rare like Venser's Journal from the Scars of Mirrodin set or something along those lines, next is a strange piece that i'd like to see made into a card personally.


Now depicted in the picture above is a Phyrexian Female stabbing a lowly Mirran with what appears to be s symbol of their rule, probably a spell of some sort, will we see this kind of thing in New Phyrexia who knows but all i can say is this is one of those days were speculation is key since the release of this set is just over a month away at this point, but if it is a spell of some sort, perhaps it might have deathtouch or Infect or even possess some pump ability we will have to wait and see. There is one last piece of art i'd like to talk about here and it's a Mirran flavour card.


Now if this isn't a giant Myr i don't know what is, will we see this art used in the set i think so since usually when wizards gives us arts like this they are used in some form for their newer sets regardless of what they are, but i expect this to be some form of Myr artifact creature personally probably one of their mothers much like Dragon Broodmother is for dragon creatures alike, will we see this spawn tokens like the Broodmother who knows but all i can say is watch out the Mirran's aren't done yet with Phyrexia.

Well that's all for now and such, stay tuned in the next couple of days i am sure there will be more articles to write about and all that stuff, but for now Mirrans and Phyrexians alike stay tuned and keep a eye on the spoilers in the next week or so, this is vergil signing off.
