Creatures 33

1 Ancient Stone Idol
Ancient Stone Idol

Artifact Creature — Golem

12/12

Flash
This spell costs less to cast for each attacking creature.
Trample
When this creature dies, create a 6/12 colorless Construct artifact creature token with trample.
Ancient Stone Idol's cost is reduced for each attacking creature, not just creatures attacking you. It even counts your attacking creatures.

If there are enough attacking creatures, Ancient Stone Idol's cost can be reduced to .

The total cost to cast a spell is locked in before you pay that cost. For example, if you control five attacking creatures, including one you can sacrifice to add , Ancient Stone Idol costs to cast. Then you can sacrifice the creature when you activate mana abilities just before paying the cost, and it still costs only to cast.
1 Angel of the Ruins
1 Blade Splicer
1 Blight Titan
1 Bloodline Pretender
Bloodline Pretender

Artifact Creature — Shapeshifter

2/2

Changeling (This card is every creature type.)
As this creature enters, choose a creature type.
Whenever another creature you control of the chosen type enters, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.
If Bloodline Pretender enters the battlefield at the same time as another creature, you can choose one of that creature's creature types and have Bloodline Pretender's last ability trigger for that other creature.

If Bloodline Pretender is somehow on the battlefield without a chosen creature type, its last ability can't trigger, even if a creature with no creature types enters the battlefield.

Changeling is a characteristic-defining ability. It functions in all zones, not only while a card that has it is on the battlefield.

The subtype Shapeshifter that appears on the type line is mostly there to reinforce the flavor. A creature card with changeling is just as much an Elf, a Dwarf, a Sliver, a Goat, a Coward, and a Zombie as it is a Shapeshifter.

If an effect causes a creature with changeling to become a new creature type, it will be only that new creature type. It will still have changeling; the effect making it all creature types will simply be overwritten.

If an effect causes a creature with changeling to lose all abilities, it will remain all creature types, even though it will no longer have changeling. This is because changeling applies before the effect that removes it.

You must choose an existing creature type, such as Vampire or Druid. You can't choose card types (e.g., artifact) or supertypes (e.g., snow).
1 Bone Shredder
Bone Shredder

Creature — Phyrexian Minion

1/1

Flying
Echo (At the beginning of your upkeep, if this came under your control since the beginning of your last upkeep, sacrifice it unless you pay its echo cost.)
When this creature enters, destroy target nonartifact, nonblack creature.
Paying for echo is always optional. When the echo triggered ability resolves, if you can't pay the echo cost or choose not to, you sacrifice that permanent.

Your permanent's echo ability will trigger at the beginning of your upkeep if it entered the battlefield since the beginning of your last upkeep, or if you gained control of it since the beginning of your last upkeep.
1 Brimaz, Blight of Oreskos
Brimaz, Blight of Oreskos

Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Cat

3/4

Whenever you cast a Phyrexian creature or artifact creature spell, incubate X, where X is that spell's mana value. (Create an Incubator token with X +1/+1 counters on it and " : Transform this token." It transforms into a 0/0 Phyrexian artifact creature.)
At the beginning of each end step, if a Phyrexian died under your control this turn, proliferate.
If you cast a Phyrexian artifact creature spell, Brimaz's first ability will trigger only once.

Brimaz's last ability will check as the end step starts to see if a Phyrexian died under your control this turn. If one did not, the ability won't trigger at all.
1 Burnished Hart
1 Cataclysmic Gearhulk
Cataclysmic Gearhulk

Artifact Creature — Construct

4/5

Vigilance
When this creature enters, each player chooses an artifact, a creature, an enchantment, and a planeswalker from among the nonland permanents they control, then sacrifices the rest.
First the player whose turn it is chooses permanents they control, then each other player in turn order does the same. Each player will know the choices made by players who chose before them. All of the unchosen nonland permanents are then sacrificed simultaneously.

A permanent with more than one type may be chosen as either of the types or both. For example, an artifact creature may be chosen as the artifact, the creature, or both. Choosing the same permanent twice this way has the same result as choosing it once.

Cataclysmic Gearhulk will be sacrificed to its own ability if you don't choose it as your artifact or your creature.

Lands can't be chosen and won't be sacrificed, even if they have other types (such as an artifact land).

If you don't control any permanents of one of the types, you'll still choose the permanents of the types you do control.
1 Compleated Huntmaster
1 Darksteel Splicer
Darksteel Splicer

Creature — Phyrexian Artificer

1/1

Whenever this creature or another nontoken Phyrexian you control enters, create X 3/3 colorless Phyrexian Golem artifact creature tokens, where X is the number of opponents you have.
Golems you control have indestructible.
Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a Golem you control may become lethal if Darksteel Splicer leaves the battlefield during that turn.
1 Duplicant
Duplicant

Artifact Creature — Shapeshifter

2/4

Imprint — When this creature enters, you may exile target nontoken creature.
As long as a card exiled with this creature is a creature card, this creature has the power, toughness, and creature types of the last creature card exiled with it. It's still a Shapeshifter.
Duplicant's base power and toughness change to the imprinted card's power and toughness. Counters and other effects that modify Duplicant's power and toughness still apply.

Abilities that define a * in a creature's power and toughness apply while that card is in exile, but abilities that add or subtract power and toughness don't. For example, the ability of Crusader of Odric applies to determine Duplicant's power and toughness, but the ability of Death's Shadow doesn't.

Duplicant's power and toughness are constantly updated if the exiled card's power and/or toughness change.

If a melded permanent or a merged permanent is exiled by Duplicant's triggered ability, that ability's controller chooses the relative timestamp of the exiled cards. Duplicant looks at the information of the one with the latest timestamp.
1 Filigree Vector
Filigree Vector

Artifact Creature — Phyrexian Construct

1/1

When this creature enters, put a +1/+1 counter on each of any number of target creatures and a charge counter on each of any number of target artifacts.
, , Sacrifice another artifact: Proliferate. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.)
You may choose an artifact creature as a target for both parts of the triggered ability. It will get a +1/+1 counter and a charge counter.
1 First-Sphere Gargantua
First-Sphere Gargantua

Creature — Phyrexian Horror

5/4

When this creature enters, you draw a card and you lose 1 life.
Unearth ( : Return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step or if it would leave the battlefield. Unearth only as a sorcery.)
Activating a creature card's unearth ability isn't the same as casting the creature card. The unearth ability is put on the stack, but the creature card is not. Spells and abilities that interact with activated abilities (such as Stifle) will interact with unearth, but spells and abilities that interact with spells (such as Cancel) will not.

If a creature returned to the battlefield by the unearth ability would leave it for any reason, it's exiled instead—unless the spell or ability that's causing the creature to leave the battlefield is actually trying to exile it. In that case, the spell or ability succeeds at exiling the creature. If the spell or ability later returns the creature card to the battlefield (as Astral Drift might, for example), the creature card will return as a new object with no relation to its previous existence. The unearth effect will no longer apply to it.
1 Graveshifter
1 Keskit, the Flesh Sculptor
Keskit, the Flesh Sculptor

Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Human Artificer

1/3

, Sacrifice three other artifacts and/or creatures: Look at the top three cards of your library. Put two of them into your hand and the other into your graveyard.
Partner (You can have two commanders if both have partner.)
If your Commander deck has two commanders, you can only include cards whose own color identities are also found in your commanders' combined color identities. If Falthis and Kediss are your commanders, your deck may contain cards with black and/or red in their color identity, but not cards with green, white, or blue.

Both commanders start in the command zone, and the remaining 98 cards (or 58 cards in a Commander Draft game) of your deck are shuffled to become your library.

To have two commanders, both must have the partner ability as the game begins. Losing the ability during the game doesn't cause either to cease to be your commander.

Once the game begins, your two commanders are tracked separately. If you cast one, you won't have to pay an additional the first time you cast the other. A player loses the game after having been dealt 21 damage from any one of them, not from both of them combined.

If something refers to your commander while you have two commanders, it refers to one of them of your choice. If you are instructed to perform an action on your commander (e.g. put it from the command zone into your hand due to Command Beacon), you choose one of your commanders at the time the effect happens.

An effect that checks whether you control your commander is satisfied if you control one or both of your two commanders.

You can choose two commanders with partner that are the same color or colors. In Commander Draft, you can even choose two of the same commander with partner if you drafted them. If you do this, make sure you keep the number of times you've cast each from the command zone clear for "commander tax" purposes.
1 Massacre Wurm
Massacre Wurm

Creature — Phyrexian Wurm

6/5

When this creature enters, creatures your opponents control get -2/-2 until end of turn.
Whenever a creature an opponent controls dies, that player loses 2 life.
Massacre Wurm's first ability affects only creatures your opponents control at the time it resolves. Creatures they begin to control later in the turn won't get -2/-2.

Massacre Wurm's triggered ability triggers if a creature an opponent controls dies for any reason, including from its first ability reducing its toughness to 0, as long as Massacre Wurm remains on the battlefield.

If a creature an opponent controls dies at the same time as Massacre Wurm, Massacre Wurm's last ability triggers for that creature.

If your life total is brought to 0 or less at the same time that a creature an opponent controls is dealt lethal damage, you lose the game before Massacre Wurm's last ability goes on the stack.
1 Master Splicer
Master Splicer

Creature — Phyrexian Human Artificer

1/1

When this creature enters, create a 3/3 colorless Phyrexian Golem artifact creature token.
Golems you control get +1/+1.
Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a Golem you control may become lethal if Master Splicer leaves the battlefield during that turn.
1 Meteor Golem
1 Moira and Teshar
1 Myr Battlesphere
Myr Battlesphere

Artifact Creature — Myr Construct

4/7

When this creature enters, create four 1/1 colorless Myr artifact creature tokens.
Whenever this creature attacks, you may tap X untapped Myr you control. If you do, this creature gets +X/+0 until end of turn and deals X damage to the player or planeswalker it's attacking.
You choose the value for X as the last ability resolves. You can't choose a value for X that's greater than the number of untapped Myr you control.

You can tap any untapped Myr you control as the last ability resolves, not just the Myr tokens you created with the first ability. This includes Myr that haven't been under your control since your most recent turn began.

As the last ability resolves, you can tap untapped Myr you control even if Myr Battlesphere is no longer on the battlefield by then. If that has happened, Myr Battlesphere won't be able to get the +X/+0 bonus, but it will still deal X damage to the appropriate player or planeswalker.
1 Noxious Gearhulk
Noxious Gearhulk

Artifact Creature — Construct

5/4

Menace
When this creature enters, you may destroy another target creature. If a creature is destroyed this way, you gain life equal to its toughness.
If the target creature has indestructible, it isn't destroyed this way and you won't gain life. If it is destroyed but put into a zone other than a graveyard, you'll gain life.

Use the toughness of the creature as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much life to gain.
1 Phyrexian Delver
1 Phyrexian Gargantua
1 Phyrexian Ghoul
1 Phyrexian Rager
1 Phyrexian Triniform
Phyrexian Triniform

Artifact Creature — Phyrexian Golem

9/9

When this creature dies, create three 3/3 colorless Phyrexian Golem artifact creature tokens.
Encore ( , Exile this card from your graveyard: For each opponent, create a token copy that attacks that opponent this turn if able. They gain haste. Sacrifice them at the beginning of the next end step. Activate only as a sorcery.)
If an effect stops a token from attacking a specific player, that token can attack any player, planeswalker, or battle, or not attack at all. If the effect stops the token from attacking a specific player unless a cost is paid, you don't have to pay that cost unless you want to attack that player.

Opponents who have left the game aren't counted when determining how many tokens to create.

The tokens copy only what's on the original card. Effects that modified that creature when it was previously on the battlefield won't be copied.

Exiling the card with encore is a cost to activate the ability. Once you announce that you're activating it, no player may take actions until you've finished. They can't try to remove the card from your graveyard to stop you from paying the cost.

If one of the tokens can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having it attack, you aren't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.

If one of the tokens somehow is under another player's control as the delayed triggered ability resolves, you can't sacrifice that token. It remains on the battlefield indefinitely, even if you regain control of it later.

Each token must attack the appropriate player if able.
1 Psychosis Crawler
Psychosis Crawler

Artifact Creature — Phyrexian Horror

*/*

Psychosis Crawler's power and toughness are each equal to the number of cards in your hand.
Whenever you draw a card, each opponent loses 1 life.
If an effect causes you to draw multiple cards, Psychosis Crawler will trigger that many times.
1 Scrap Trawler
Scrap Trawler

Artifact Creature — Construct

3/2

Whenever this creature dies or another artifact you control is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, return to your hand target artifact card in your graveyard with lesser mana value.
If Scrap Trawler and another artifact you control are put into a graveyard at the same time, Scrap Trawler's ability triggers for each of them.

The target artifact card must have a lesser mana value than the artifact that caused Scrap Trawler's ability to trigger by being put into a graveyard. Use the artifact's mana value as it last existed on the battlefield to determine what may be returned.

While on the battlefield or in a graveyard, in an object's mana cost is 0.

If an artifact is a copy of another artifact with greater mana value, such as Sculpting Steel copying an artifact with mana value 4, Scrap Trawler's ability can target that artifact card in your graveyard when that artifact is put into your graveyard.
1 Shattered Angel
1 Shimmer Myr
Shimmer Myr

Artifact Creature — Myr

2/2

Flash
You may cast artifact spells as though they had flash.
Once you announce that you're casting a spell, players can't attempt to remove Shimmer Myr from the battlefield to make that casting illegal. Removing Shimmer My after you've cast a spell won't affect that spell.

Shimmer Myr has no effect on artifact lands because they aren't cast as spells.
1 Soul of New Phyrexia
Soul of New Phyrexia

Artifact Creature — Phyrexian Avatar

6/6

Trample
: Permanents you control gain indestructible until end of turn.
, Exile this card from your graveyard: Permanents you control gain indestructible until end of turn.
You can activate the last ability only if the Soul is in your graveyard.

Exiling the Soul from your graveyard is part of the last ability's activation cost. A player can't remove the Soul in response to prevent you from activating the ability.
1 Vulpine Harvester
Vulpine Harvester

Creature — Phyrexian Fox

3/3

Whenever one or more Phyrexians you control attack, return target artifact card from your graveyard to the battlefield if its mana value is less than or equal to their total power.
You may choose any artifact card in your graveyard as the target of Vulpine Harvester’s triggered ability. The total power of the attacking Phyrexians is checked as the ability resolves to determine if that card is returned to the battlefield or not. Use the power of each of those creatures at that time, even if the creature is no longer attacking or no longer a Phyrexian. If the creature isn’t on the battlefield, use its power from when it was last on the battlefield. If the artifact card’s mana value is greater than the total power, it stays in your graveyard.

Phyrexian Scriptures

Enchantment — Saga

(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III.)
I — Put a +1/+1 counter on up to one target creature. That creature becomes an artifact in addition to its other types.
II — Destroy all nonartifact creatures.
III — Exile all opponents' graveyards.
The effect of Phyrexian Scriptures's first chapter ability lasts indefinitely. It doesn't expire when Phyrexian Scriptures leaves the battlefield.

As a Saga enters the battlefield, its controller puts a lore counter on it. As your precombat main phase begins (immediately after your draw step), you put another lore counter on each Saga you control. Putting a lore counter on a Saga in either of these ways doesn't use the stack.

Each symbol on the left of a Saga's text box represents a chapter ability. A chapter ability is a triggered ability that triggers when a lore counter that is put on the Saga causes the number of lore counters on the Saga to become equal to or greater than the ability's chapter number. Chapter abilities are put onto the stack and may be responded to.

A chapter ability doesn't trigger if a lore counter is put on a Saga that already had a number of lore counters greater than or equal to that chapter's number. For example, the third lore counter put on a Saga causes the III chapter ability to trigger, but I and II won't trigger again.

Once a chapter ability has triggered, the ability on the stack won't be affected if the Saga gains or loses counters, or if it leaves the battlefield.

If multiple chapter abilities trigger at the same time, their controller puts them on the stack in any order. If any of them require targets, those targets are chosen as you put the abilities on the stack, before any of those abilities resolve.

If counters are removed from a Saga, the appropriate chapter abilities will trigger again when the Saga receives lore counters. Removing lore counters won't cause a previous chapter ability to trigger.

Once the number of lore counters on a Saga is greater than or equal to the greatest number among its chapter abilities—in the Dominaria set, this is always three—the Saga's controller sacrifices it as soon as its chapter ability has left the stack, most likely by resolving or being countered. This state-based action doesn't use the stack.
