New Phyrexia Wrap Up and Best of the Set
So since New Phyrexia's arrival as of this past friday we've seen prices for cards such as Mental Misstep rise from a mere 2 dollar uncommon to a 5 dollar uncommon thus the days of Path to Exile are here again, let's take a look see at the best of the set.
Karn Liberated - Best planeswalker yet perhaps, 35 dollars is his current price as a non foil version and 70 is the foil price, not bad for a colorless walker that restarts games after 2 turns of it on the field, though i expect karn's price to drop severely in the next couple of months to around 17-20 dollars to be more accomadating to the price experts out there, we will see this bad boy probably in standard, but more so legacy or extended thus why his price is high or so i think anyways.
Glistener Elf - Finally the 1 drop infecter makes a stand as one of the best ten cards of the set, this guy alone makes infect viable on a mono green standpoint, he's a elf so he has elf deck potential but more or less gonna be a infect builder, decks will be built around this dude causing infect to go global in more then a limited standpoint. I'd expect this to hit lightning bolt prices of 2 dollars a copy since it's a key card in infect builds, green/black or mono green builds at least.
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite - From one turn deserves another, this is the dude that makes white weenie a force to be reckoned with, it's vigilance alone is dominant with it's power toughness ratio, 4/7 for a 7 drop that says you're not getting by me so easily, shows this format will be a devestating 4 months, at least till Innistrad comes out. who knows though
Mental Misstep - Perhaps the best uncommon of the set, 5 dollars for a single copy of this card, it's foil version costs more then Karn Liberated's non foil version which i spoke of already, dear god this is sure to hit swords to plowshare prices within the next while i am sure of this, let's see it counters 30% of Extended, Legacy and Standard, Soul Sisters, no, Sensei's Divining Top, no, Goblin Guide, No, get the picture, this is perhaps the greatest 1 counter spell in the game as of right now, It's on par with stuff like Mana Leak, Counterspell, Hell even Cryptic Command are all as good as this, plus it can be slotted into any deck, so blue no longer has exclusive counterspells anymore, wow much.
Despise - Finally a planeswalker killer, 1 drop discard that hits walkers, about time, we have currently 16 walkers in the format, making this a needed card, mono black control is gonna rock cause of this, plus with all the removal suites black has at this moment it is sure to be a fun card to play.
Phyrexian Obliterator - Woo, this thing is hot and just busted, 4 black for a 5/5 trample that forces opponent's to sacrifice permanents, oh dear well we know how this is going down, as early as turn 2, this guy is nuts already with prices ranging from 29.99 to about 35.00 for this card this is sure to be a must have card in any deck that runs black, it does what black loves, even if it is a mythic rare.
Batterskull - I think this was a perfect way to finish living weapon as a mechanic, with a mythic rare weapon that can be returned to your hand from the graveyard, during your opponent's upkeep too, +4/+4, vigilance and lifelink on a dude, if it had protection as well it'd be broken, ranging at around 35 dollars as of right now, this is surely a must have card for any deck at any time, even as a 1 or 2 of in the standard format
I am sure there are a lot more cards i have yet to mention but that is it and such, so till next time folks this is vergil signing off.

That's right kiddies it was anticpated that this third and final set of the scars of mirrodin block was going to be New Phyrexia and well it's turned out to be true thanks to the mothership announcement located here Arcana Announcement which was no surprise also revealed a new mythic rare wanna see it, do you wanna see it, hell yes you do.
Wow your probably thinking this is the card that was spoiled alongside this announcement let's take a look at this bad boy it costs 7 mana to summon, it's legendary status allows only one of this type of card to be present at all times, it has vigilance and gives other creatures you control +2/+2 for the rest of the game it is on the field but that is not all, it gives other creatures your opponents control -2/-2 so any weaklings die instantly to it's wrath, now that's all good but it's a 4/7 for 7 mana you get 3 abilites plus a 4/7 beatstick can anyone say wow this thing is broken immediately but look at it this way we got 4 more praetors to look at when they are revealed.
As per usual in about 2 days time i will begin my usual spoilers for here and that, so stay tuned for those i just wanted to give you guys something to look forward to, as usual with every set from now on, also does anyone remember the game day promos i spoiled well both are in this so Suture Priest and of course Pristine Talisman will have numbers and of course the same abilites as they were featured in the game day promos, 3 down 172 to go till next time this is vergil saying remember if you wake up and find a horse's head in your bed run, it's probably phyrexians wanting to kill you see ya next time.
