Phyrexian Obliterator

Description

Phyrexia: All Will Be One introduced a distinct mechanical identity centered on resource conversion, and card number 105 stands as a premier example of this aggressive philosophy. The Phyrexian Obliterator is a black creature with a mana value of four that commands attention through its imposing five-over-five power and toughness stats. Its design emphasizes a relentless offensive presence, granting the Trample ability to ensure damage reaches the opponent even when blocked. Beyond its raw power, the card features a unique triggered ability that defines its strategic role. Whenever a source deals damage to this creature, the controller of that source must sacrifice that many permanents of their choice. This interaction creates a powerful deterrent for opponents, turning any attempt to remove the card into a significant resource loss. The synergy between its durability and its retaliatory effect makes it a formidable presence in competitive play. Collectors appreciate this card for its high rarity tier and its iconic status within the Phyrexian narrative. As a Mythic Rare from the ONE set code, it holds a prime position in any Magic: The Gathering collection, appealing to both competitive players and those who value the artistic and mechanical depth of modern expansions. The Phyrexian Obliterator remains a key piece for enthusiasts tracking the evolution of black-centric strategies in the game. The card's flavor text, attributed to Sheoldred, adds depth to the character's intimidating personality. This combination of mechanical potency and thematic resonance ensures that the Phyrexian Obliterator continues to be a sought-after item for dedicated players and collectors alike.
