Why was this not a mythic? Its legendary and has a powerful effect. Was weird seeing a yellow set symbol instead of gold. Maybe they just ran out of space for mythic.

@sarroth and names_suck:
You guys seem confused. New Phyrexia was the original idea for the whole block but it was decided in development that it instead the block would focus on the Mirran/Phyrexian war and the New Phyrexia concept would be held back until the last set in that block. There is no Mirrodin Pure set, it was never designed. It was only ever something that was shown to players as a possible outcome of the war. No cards were ever made to back up the concept. Certainly there is no full set of cards called Mirrodin Pure in a design file in the Wizards back offices. The Mirran resistance however could make some sort of return in the future. Their defeat s starting to look not quite as total as I once assumed and with planeswalker help they could escape anyway.
Hope that helps
Also Ob Nixilix doesn't even appear in the Eldrazi novel, which yes is not really all that worth reading. It doesn't really answer any plot related questions, I was pretty disappointed.
Finally the... (see all)

To Phyrexians: "Hallo. My name is Jor Kadeen. You enslaved my planet. Prepare to die."
Phyrexians look at him... then run away.

I honestly can't believe i'm the first to comment on the art but this art is the best art on any card i've ever seen.
This artist is a genius

@metalevolence
he gives you creatures a +3/+0 bonus, and is a 5/4 first striker for 5. he's earned that arrogance.

A lot of this set makes me think that we will still see the Mirrodin Pure set even though Phyrexia "won the war". This guy and Melira being prime examples. Not to mention Phyrexia still not having any planeswalkers since Karn is "released" as opposed to corrupted or Phyrexian.
Plus it sounded like Mirrodin Pure had already been designed as a set so I doubt they would waste that effort.
And this guy seems like a good finisher for Boros on top of the 2 heroes. Its just that current Boros doesn't run artifacts unfortunately so for now I'd say 4. He has potential, but no real place yet like Thrun from besieged.
