Description
The Phyrexian Plaguelord is a five-mana Rare creature card from the 2010 Magic: The Gathering expansion, Duel Decks: Phyrexia vs. the Coalition. Designed as a Phyrexian Carrier, this card carries a mana cost of {3}{B}{B} and possesses a power and toughness of 4/4. Created by artist Kev Walker, the card is identified by number 13 in the set, which carries the set code DDE. Collectors often seek this card for its thematic representation of the Phyrexian invasion narrative within the game's lore. In gameplay, the Phyrexian Plaguelord offers strategic depth through its sacrifice abilities. Players can tap the creature to sacrifice it, dealing -4/-4 to any target creature until the end of the turn. Alternatively, sacrificing another creature allows the controller to apply -1/-1 to a target creature. These mechanics make it a versatile tool for board control in various formats. As part of the Duel Decks series, this product was designed to provide accessible, pre-constructed themes for both new and experienced players. The card remains a notable piece for those building Phyrexian-themed decks or collecting from the early 2010s era of Magic: The Gathering.
