Created for Challenge # 049. Link gave a truly intriguing name. "Faa" sounds like an ethereal kind of name, a faerie or elemental or elf. But "Servant to the Cause"? Sounds like someone dedicated, but somehow sinister too. I wondered what kind of cause this might be, and eventually figured a Phyrexian elf would fit this name quite well. (I've just realised I might have been possibly subconsciously influenced by Fuel for the Cause.)
This rules text isn't terribly elegant. It's a bit of a big splat over all the Phyrexian mechanics.
Oh, and BTW, I finally got around to creating Phyrexian and Mirran watermarks. These still aren't great - they haven't got the drop shadow that Glistener Elf etc show - but it gets the idea across. I'll be adding them to the watermark dropdown next time I update the Multiverse code, but in the meantime you can use these URLs: Phyrexian watermark Mirran watermark
The "Faa" I immediately thought of was John, leader of the Gyptians.
Also, "I never liked the Corrs anyway, bunch of whining girls".
Ha. I was probably subconsciously influenced by that, Chris.
Oh, and I really like the mechanic, Alex, whether it's inelegant or not.
