Portal to Phyrexia

Description

Portal to Phyrexia (card number 240p) is a Mythic Rare artifact released in 2022 as part of the Magic: The Gathering The Brothers' War Promos series. The card carries a mana cost of {9} and is illustrated by Svetlin Velinov. Its gameplay effect allows the controller to sacrifice three creatures of an opponent's choice when it enters the battlefield, while providing a recurring benefit by returning a creature card from a graveyard to the battlefield under your control as a Phyrexian. The flavor text references the return of a long-standing nightmare after five thousand years, anchoring the card within the set's narrative. Collectors of the Modern era often track this promo release due to its connection to The Brothers' War block. The 240p designation places it within the promotional subset rather than the main set checklist, distinguishing it from standard base cards. As a high-mana-cost artifact, the card appeals to players interested in powerful late-game board states and graveyard recursion mechanics. The distinct Phyresian treatment and the powerful sacrifice effect make it a recognizable piece for those building thematic decks or completing their collection of promotional artifacts from this era. The Brothers' War Promos series captures a specific moment in Magic's history, and Portal to Phyrexia serves as a notable entry point for enthusiasts of the Phyrexian storyline. Its high mana value and disruptive entry effect make it a unique mechanical piece within the artifact category.
