Does everybody see this?!? The Gitaxians know of other planes?!? The Phyrexians will return! There's going to be more infect in standard in the future!
Now that I think about it, it's kind of inevitable... The Phyrexians are the most organized and persistant (not to mention evil) killing machine that MTG has seen... They took over Mirrodin, and soon there will be a contagion engine on every plane! And Nicole Bolas (check the new core set) will be the only force strong enough to stop them! Muahahaha! Get you UBR control decks ready!

For those who don't know what the title "Grand Cenobite" means, then enjoy this brief educational excursion: A cenobite is a person who adheres to cenobitic monasticism, meaning they live according to strict religious laws while emphasizing community and togetherness, which totally fits the white phyrexian mentality.
The Grand Cenobite would most likely be the leader of the order, although "cenobite" is not in itself a term for rank or status, meaning that calling someone the Grand Cenobite is like calling a general the grand soldier or calling a CEO the supreme management: technically a valid term, but still an odd choice of words. Personally I think something like "Elesh Norn, Cenobite Archbishop" or "Elesh Norn, Cenobitic Pontiff" would have made more sense, but that's might be just me.

This really isnt overpowered, but it is very fun. i see a casual deck in the making that heaps counters on everybodys creatures... B/W with Massacre Wurm maybe. too bad this is legendary.

This gal is going to be the center-piece of my 
control/burn deck. White phyrexia is overflowing with flavor,.. cards like Forced Worship, Marrow Shards, Due Respect and Elesh Norn herself are great examples. Her flavor is simply BOW DOWN, and I love it.
Just ordered two of these in foil... can't wait to see how beautiful they are up close. 5/5

Awesome design, in pretty much every way, from the art, to the flavor, to the effect.
If it was +3+3/-3-3, she would be broken.

I love her, simple and super strong. I think she will defy the critics and show up a few times in a few top decks. Can't wait to play Elesh.
