Vivisection Evangelist

Description

The Vivisection Evangelist is a five-mana Creature — Phyrexian Cleric from the 2023 Magic: The Gathering expansion, Phyrexia: All Will Be One. Identified as card number 220 in the ONE set code, this Uncommon rarity card is a dual-colored asset requiring both white and black mana to cast. Designed by artist Igor Kieryluk, the card represents a key component of the Phyrexian faction's mechanical identity within the set. Functionally, the Evangelist brings Vigilance to the battlefield while wielding a potent entry trigger. When this creature enters, its Corrupted ability activates if an opponent has accumulated three or more poison counters. Upon meeting this condition, the card allows its controller to destroy a target creature or planeswalker that an opponent controls. This interaction creates a high-impact moment for players who can leverage poison strategies or survive early threats to reach the necessary counter threshold. Collectors value the Vivisection Evangelist for its thematic representation of Phyrexian infection and its strategic utility in formats that support the black-white color pair. The card’s design reflects the aggressive and invasive nature of the Phyrexians, making it a recognizable piece for fans of the block. Whether building a competitive deck or completing a set of Magic: The Gathering trading cards, this card offers a distinct blend of board presence and removal capability. It stands as a notable example of the mechanical depth introduced in Phyrexia: All Will Be One, appealing to those who appreciate intricate creature interactions and conditional effects.
