What's the story behind the Phyrexian mana on this?
I made this early on and I don't have a huge problem with it using this cost, it kind of works with the theme of the mechanic and card, and also is just asthetically pleasing..
I dunno if phyrexian mana is deciduous or not, and i do know it's odd to just have a couple cards in a set with phyrexian mana, but I don't think it's too big of a jump from normal.
Phy mana is a problem. It would be a very very nice signal for a new-new-phyrexia set. But reducing mana costs, and allowing massively colour bleed is a big thing it does in a not-so-good way. So I expect we will see it, or something like it, in future (Mtg flavour team one day: "we should invent a new big-bad. But that would be effort. We should bring one back. Or maybe two of them, and have them fight. Off tot he pub!")
Used like this is actually a very good fix for its problems; since you have to jump through hoops to get the colour reduction.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is balanced, I assumed Link was worried that it didn't make sense to have on the card.
I liked the design idea, and the aesthetic, and wasn't worried I'd have to make Phyrexian mana a theme in order to include it on one card.
If it's a huge problem, I'll change it to
and Pay 2 life.
The problem with Phyrexian mana is that it has unavoidable flavor implications.
Yeah, that's true.
It's sometimes unfortunate that RND decides to make super generic (not necessarily in a bad way) mechanics with specific flavor, same with cards, especially lands. (im looking at you, Amass)
It leads to a lack of cool reprints... kinda sucks.
