Her house's doors lead to Nothingness.

She owns a Lich's Mirror.

One of her best friends is a persecutor of the abyss.

She also tried to commit to a Warrior's Oath as her Last Chance at a Final Fortune.


Erm.... her father was a Lich??? A Nefarious one, sometimes?
Ok, that's too much...

I enjoy cheating this into play. Then explaining to people why I lose without them asking. Even if I've made the same play to that very same person person.

Zombie Master+Zombie Trailblazer or Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. Remember, Phage is a Zombie herself now.

Whilst the card does say play, the gatherer information has been updated to *cast*, meaning you have to pay the mana cost and put it onto the battlefield from your hand.

Whilst lots of 'instant win' cards have potential, realistically, the lack of shroud on most of them makes them sitting ducks, or they have such unrealistic expectations that you're likely to never pull them off (I've only ever 'instant won' twice myself - both casual times - the first in a multiplayer match where two Soul Wardens and everyone's creatures coming out gave me enough health for Felidar Sovereign to win it for me, and another where I was playing a Bant lifegaining deck (splashed with a little red), and Mayael's Aria + Cradle of Vitality + Wall of Reverence ended up comboing for the win (thanks to the opponent having pretty much no spot removal).

In terms of Phage, being black protects her from Terror/Doom Blade, and her toughness helps protect her from bolts, but she can still be removed. Protection from... (see all)

Phage the Untouchable: the most poorly understood card in all of magic. More bombos and rules confusions have been made about you than perhaps any other creature. I respect you for that. However, now that I think about it, the M10 terminology changes ought to make it much easier for people. P.S. PolskiSuzeren's idea of swerving a Rise from the Grave onto Phage to kill your opponent is brilliant! lol!

Phage has many weak points, Whipsersilk Cloak covers most of them ^^

Every phage card needs her own "# of times I've killed my owner" tally on the card. Make sure to add yours! Or better yet, stick a proxy over it in a sleeve, so you can print another copy after you run out of them.

Zombie Master, Zombie Trailblazer, Death Baron, Lord Of The Undead, Undead Warchief and Cemetary Reaper have a new best friend. Also, if I use Minion Reflector on this to copy it, would I lose the game?

Let's say you have Platinum Angel out and play Phage from your graveyard only to have Platinum Angel destroyed three turns later. Would you still lost the game, or does Phage's first ability only apply as she comes into the game?

Looking at some of the turn 3 combos in the list... here's the poor man's version:

Turn 1: Swamp, Dark Ritual, Cathodion
Turn 2: Mountain, Culling the Weak sacking Cathodion, Cast Phage, tap mountain, Reckless Charge or Crimson Wisps

Turn 2 Hastey Phage, and all it cost you was 1 creature, and your entire hand, luckily you're safe from Force Spike when casting Phage since you have the mountain.

Assuming they don't play a creature on their first turn (and you went first), they're open to be Swatted by Her, and judging by swat's art, it hurts :(

I'll admit though, you'd have to have pretty amazing luck to get all 7 cards in hand on turn 1 or 2, even with 4 copies of each in the deck.

thedeathscythe: This card doesn't work with Donate like you describe. First, you can only Momentary Blink creatures you control (which you will not if you donated your Phage), second, even if you use other flickering effects that allow you to flicker other players' creatures, like Glimmerpoint Stag, you will make Phage return under YOUR control and then lose the game yourself. So, to get the effect you are aiming for, you need to use a card like Endless Whispers: play Phage, sac it to something with Endless Whispers on the board, wait until Phage pops back under opponent's control at end of turn.

Hey, uh, guys. You know how you're saying she'd be an epic general?

Don't you play Generals from the exile zone? :(

@VegaSecureA They're not. COMBAT damage comes from COMBAT. Any T: ability isn't combat by definition.
