Parasitic Implant

Description

Parasitic Implant is a foil common enchantment from the 2011 Magic: The Gathering New Phyrexia expansion, identified as card number 67 in the set. As a black mana-cost Aura, it serves as a functional piece for players interested in the game's strategic depth and artifact synergies. The card’s primary function revolves around its upkeep trigger, which requires the controller of the enchanted creature to sacrifice it. In exchange, the player creates a 1/1 colorless Phyrexian Myr artifact creature token. This mechanic creates a dynamic exchange of resources, appealing to collectors who value cards with unique interactions and strategic utility. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal, distinguishing this print from its non-foil counterparts and enhancing its collectibility for those who appreciate the tactile and visual diversity of Magic cards. For collectors, Parasitic Implant holds a place within the broader New Phyrexia set, which is often completed by enthusiasts seeking to capture the full scope of this influential block. The card’s straightforward yet impactful effect makes it a recognizable staple for players who enjoy artifact-centric strategies. Its presence in the game highlights the creative design philosophy of Wizards of the Coast during this period, balancing thematic storytelling with mechanical innovation. Whether for completing a set or adding a foil gem to a collection, this card remains a notable entry in the Magic: The Gathering catalog.
