Rage Extractor

Description

The Rage Extractor is an artifact card from the Magic: The Gathering 2011 New Phyrexia expansion, designated as Card Number 91 in the set. Designed by Raymond Swanland, this piece of the New Phyrexia product line captures the mechanical identity of the block through its unique interaction with the hybrid mana symbol. The card features a mana cost of {4}{R/P}, allowing players to pay {R} or lose 2 life to cast it. Mechanically, the Rage Extractor serves as a versatile damage source for artifact-based strategies. Its triggered ability activates whenever you cast a spell with {H} in its mana cost. When this condition is met, the artifact deals damage equal to that spell's mana value to any target. This design encourages players to build decks that leverage hybrid mana costs to maximize the card's impact on the board. The flavor text reflects the oppressive nature of the New Phyrexia setting, describing it as an engine that both consumes and creates malice. For collectors, the Rage Extractor represents a specific era of Magic: The Gathering design focused on artifact synergies and hybrid mana mechanics. As an Uncommon rarity card, it is a staple for those seeking to complete the New Phyrexia checklist. The card's straightforward yet potent ability makes it a recognizable name among fans of the block.
