Description
The Omen Machine, identified as card number 148 in the 2011 New Phyrexia expansion, is a significant artifact in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by artist David Rapoza, this rare foil card features a mana cost of six, making it a substantial investment to cast. The card's ability fundamentally alters the game by preventing players from drawing cards, instead exiling the top card of their library each turn. If that exiled card is a land, it enters the battlefield; otherwise, the player may cast it without paying its mana cost. This mechanic makes the Omen Machine a focal point for collectors interested in the strategic depth and thematic elements of the New Phyrexia block. Its unique effect and foil finish appeal to those building specialized decks or seeking high-impact artifacts for their Magic: The Gathering collections. The card's design and functionality remain a key part of the New Phyrexia set's legacy, offering both aesthetic and gameplay value to enthusiasts of the trading card game.

Players can't draw cards. At the beginning of each player's draw step, that player exiles the top card of their library. If it's a land card, the player puts it onto the battlefield. Otherwise, the player casts it without paying its mana cost if able.
