"I fight for the suns, the surface, and everything in between."

Accorder Paladin

Battle cry (Whenever this creature attacks, each other attacking creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn.)

"We lost our homes and our kin. We won't let those rotters take our future as well."

Ardent Recruit

Metalcraft — Ardent Recruit gets +2/+2 as long as you control three or more artifacts.

"Unworthy of consecration."
—Axsh, lesser cenobite

Banishment Decree

Put target artifact, creature, or enchantment on top of its owner's library.

"Under the suns, Mirrodin kneels and begs us for perfection."
—Geth, Lord of the Vault

Black Sun's Zenith

Put X -1/-1 counters on each creature. Shuffle Black Sun's Zenith into its owner's library.

If this spell doesn't resolve, none of its effects occur. In particular, it will go to the graveyard rather than to its owner's library.

The Mirran partisans created hundreds of patrol sentinels to divert Phyrexian assaults from the Tangle.

Bladed Sentinel

{W}: Bladed Sentinel gains vigilance until end of turn.

Blightsteel Colossus

Trample, infect
Blightsteel Colossus is indestructible.
If Blightsteel Colossus would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, reveal Blightsteel Colossus and shuffle it into its owner's library instead.

A player who has ten or more poison counters loses the game. This is a state-based action.

Damage from a source with infect is damage in all respects. If the source with infect also has lifelink, damage dealt by that source also causes its controller to gain that much life. Damage from a source with infect can be prevented or redirected. Abilities that trigger on damage being dealt will trigger if a source with infect deals damage, if appropriate.

Damage that a creature with infect deals doesn't result in damage being marked on a creature or a player losing life. Instead, it results in that many -1/-1 counters being put on that creature or that many poison counters being given to that player. Damage dealt to planeswalkers still results in that planeswalker losing that many loyalty counters.

The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. They're not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.

Trample, infect, indestructible
If Blightsteel Colossus would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, reveal Blightsteel Colossus and shuffle it into its owner's library instead.

Blightwidow

Reach (This creature can block creatures with flying.)
Infect (This creature deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.)

A productive warren requires a good deal of prodding.

Blisterstick Shaman

When Blisterstick Shaman enters the battlefield, it deals 1 damage to target creature or player.

When Blisterstick Shaman enters, it deals 1 damage to any target.

"The Origin Query will wait. We must ensure we survive to return to it."
—Pelyus, vedalken ordinar

Blue Sun's Zenith

Target player draws X cards. Shuffle Blue Sun's Zenith into its owner's library.

Because you follow the spell's instructions in order, you won't be able to draw the same Blue Sun's Zenith that you cast.

Bonehoard

Living weapon (When this Equipment enters the battlefield, put a 0/0 black Germ creature token onto the battlefield, then attach this to it.)
Equipped creature gets +X/+X, where X is the number of creature cards in all graveyards.
Equip {2}

Although creature tokens go to the graveyard before ceasing to exist, they never count as creature cards and won't increase the bonus granted by Bonehoard, however briefly.

If lethal damage is dealt simultaneously to the equipped creature and another creature, both creatures are put into the graveyard at the same time. The equipped creature won't get an additional bonus from the other creature.

If there are no creature cards in any graveyard when Bonehoard's living weapon ability resolves, the Germ will be 0/0 and put into its owner's graveyard.

The value of X is calculated continuously as the number of creature cards in graveyards changes.

If the Germ token is destroyed, the Equipment remains on the battlefield as with any other Equipment.

If the living weapon trigger causes two Germs to be created (due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), the Equipment becomes attached to one of them. The other will be put into your graveyard and subsequently cease to exist, unless another effect raises its toughness above 0.

Like other Equipment, each Equipment with living weapon has an equip cost. You can pay this cost to attach an Equipment to another creature you control. Once the Germ token is no longer equipped, it will be put into your graveyard and subsequently cease to exist, unless another effect raises its toughness above 0.

The Germ token enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature and the Equipment becomes attached to it before state-based actions would cause the token to die. Abilities that trigger as the token enters the battlefield see that a 0/0 creature entered the battlefield.

Living weapon (When this Equipment enters, create a 0/0 black Phyrexian Germ creature token, then attach this to it.)
Equipped creature gets +X/+X, where X is the number of creature cards in all graveyards.
Equip {2}

"I admire it. Few pull off pluck and subservience at the same time."
—Ezuri, renegade leader

Brass Squire

{T}: Attach target Equipment you control to target creature you control.

If one of the targets is illegal when the activated ability resolves, nothing will happen and the Equipment won't move. Notably, if an opponent gains control of either target in response, the Equipment won't move.

Unlike the equip ability, Brass Squire's ability can be activated whenever you could cast an instant.

Burn the Impure

Burn the Impure deals 3 damage to target creature. If that creature has infect, Burn the Impure deals 3 damage to that creature's controller.

If the creature is an illegal target when Burn the Impure resolves, the spell won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen, even if that creature has infect.

At first, the Mirrans aimed for its exposed gut. The survivors quickly learned to do otherwise.

Caustic Hound

When Caustic Hound is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, each player loses 4 life.

When Caustic Hound dies, each player loses 4 life.

"Fall to your knees and welcome our embrace."
—Qal-Sha, Priest of Norn

Choking Fumes

Put a -1/-1 counter on each attacking creature.

Concussive Bolt

Concussive Bolt deals 4 damage to target player.
Metalcraft — If you control three or more artifacts, creatures that player controls can't block this turn.

If the player is an illegal target when Concussive Bolt resolves, the spell won’t resolve. None of its effects will happen, even if you control three or more artifacts.

If you controlled three or more artifacts as Concussive Bolt resolved, the targeted player won’t be able to block with any creatures this turn. That is, the set of affected creatures isn’t locked in as the spell resolves.

The number of artifacts you control is checked only once: when Concussive Bolt resolves. If you don’t control three or more artifacts at that time, creatures will be able to block that turn, even if you gain control of more artifacts later in the turn.

Concussive Bolt deals 4 damage to target player or planeswalker.
Metalcraft — If you control three or more artifacts, creatures controlled by that player or by that planeswalker's controller can't block this turn.

Consecrated Sphinx

Flying
Whenever an opponent draws a card, you may draw two cards.

If each player controls a Consecrated Sphinx, their abilities will cause each other to trigger until one player chooses not to draw cards.

The ability triggers once for each card an opponent draws. You choose whether to draw two cards as each of those abilities resolves.

You may either draw two cards or not draw at all. You can’t choose to draw only one card.

Contested War Zone

Whenever a creature deals combat damage to you, that creature's controller gains control of Contested War Zone.
{T}: Add {1} to your mana pool.
{1}, {T}: Attacking creatures get +1/+0 until end of turn.

Gaining control of Contested War Zone doesn’t cause it to tap or untap.

In some multiplayer formats, creatures controlled by different players may deal combat damage to you simultaneously. If this happens, you control each triggered ability and can put them on the stack in any order. The last ability to resolve will determine who ends up controlling Contested War Zone.

The last activated ability affects all attacking creatures, not just those you control.

The word “you” in a permanent’s trigger condition always refers to the permanent’s current controller.

Whenever a creature deals combat damage to you, that creature's controller gains control of Contested War Zone.
{T}: Add {C}.
{1}, {T}: Attacking creatures get +1/+0 until end of turn.

"We will fight as they do: our flesh protected behind metal."
—Tae Aquil, Viridian weaponsmith

Copper Carapace

Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and can't block.
Equip {3} ({3}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)

Core Prowler

Infect (This creature deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.)
When Core Prowler is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, proliferate. (You choose any number of permanents and/or players with counters on them, then give each another counter of a kind already there.)

An ability that triggers "Whenever you proliferate" triggers even if you chose no permanents or players while doing so.

If a permanent ever has both +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it at the same time, they're removed in pairs as a state-based action so that the permanent has only one of those kinds of counters on it.

If a player or permanent has more than one kind of counter on it, and you choose for it to get additional counters, it must get one of each kind of counter it already has. You can't have it get just one kind of counter it already has and not the others.

Players can respond to a spell or ability whose effect includes proliferating. Once that spell or ability starts to resolve, however, and its controller chooses which permanents and players will get new counters, it's too late for anyone to respond.

To proliferate, you can choose any permanent that has a counter, including ones controlled by opponents. You can choose any player who has a counter, including opponents. You can't choose cards in any zone other than the battlefield, even if they have counters on them.

You don't have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter, only the ones you want to add another counter to. Since "any number" includes zero, you don't have to choose any permanents at all, and you don't have to choose any players at all.

Infect (This creature deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.)
When Core Prowler dies, proliferate. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.)

Corrupted Conscience

Enchant creature
You control enchanted creature.
Enchanted creature has infect. (It deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.)

Multiple instances of infect on the same creature are redundant.

"We will reveal the futility of their heresy by showing them how fragile their relics are."
—Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger

Creeping Corrosion

Crush

If the targeted artifact is also a creature when Crush tries to resolve, it won’t resolve.

"If left in the enemy's shape too long, it might be lost to them."
—Vy Covalt, Neurok agent

Cryptoplasm

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may have Cryptoplasm become a copy of another target creature. If you do, Cryptoplasm gains this ability.

If another creature becomes a copy of Cryptoplasm, it will become a copy of whatever Cryptoplasm is currently copying (if anything), plus it will have Cryptoplasm’s triggered ability.

If the creature is an illegal target when the ability tries to resolve, it won’t resolve. Cryptoplasm won’t become a copy of that creature; it remains whatever it was before.

The copy effect lasts indefinitely. Often, it will last until it is overwritten by another copy effect (if it copies another creature on a future turn, perhaps.)

You choose the target for the triggered ability when the ability is put onto the stack. You choose whether or not Cryptoplasm becomes a copy of that creature when the ability resolves.

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may have Cryptoplasm become a copy of another target creature, except it has this ability.

"If there can be no victory, then I will fight forever."
—Koth of the Hammer

Darksteel Plate

Darksteel Plate is indestructible.
Equipped creature is indestructible.
Equip {2}

Indestructible
Equipped creature has indestructible.
Equip {2}

Mycosynth grew unfettered beneath the black lacuna, metastasizing into a matrix of noxious energy.

Decimator Web

{4}, {T}: Target opponent loses 2 life, gets a poison counter, then puts the top six cards of his or her library into his or her graveyard.

{4}, {T}: Target opponent loses 2 life, gets a poison counter, then mills six cards.

"The fleeting shadows of his primitive self have all but vanished."
—Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur

Distant Memories

Search your library for a card, exile it, then shuffle your library. Any opponent may have you put that card into your hand. If no player does, you draw three cards.

If no opponent has you put the card into your hand, the card remains exiled.

In multiplayer formats, your opponents each make the decision in turn order.

The card is exiled face up. Each opponent will know what the card is when deciding whether to have you put it in your hand.

Search your library for a card, exile it, then shuffle. Any opponent may have you put that card into your hand. If no player does, you draw three cards.

"The Phyrexians *are* vulnerable. Do not despair. We will prevail!"
—Juryan, rebel leader

Divine Offering

Destroy target artifact. You gain life equal to its converted mana cost.

If the target artifact becomes illegal before resolution, you do not gain any life.

If Divine Offering resolves, but the artifact regenerates or has indestructible, you'll still gain the life.

Destroy target artifact. You gain life equal to its mana value.

"Such a creation serves no purpose other than exterminating every one of us."
—Sadra Alic, Neurok strategist

Dross Ripper

{2}{B}: Dross Ripper gets +1/+1 until end of turn.

"The fangren fight without comfort of any kind. We can ask no less of ourselves."
—Tilien, Sylvok partisan

Fangren Marauder

Whenever an artifact is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you may gain 5 life.

If Fangren Marauder has itself become an artifact for some reason, you’ll gain 5 life when it is put into a graveyard from the battlefield.

Flayer Husk

Living weapon (When this Equipment enters the battlefield, put a 0/0 black Germ creature token onto the battlefield, then attach this to it.)
Equipped creature gets +1/+1.
Equip {2} ({2}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)

Flesh-Eater Imp

Flying
Infect (This creature deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.)
Sacrifice a creature: Flesh-Eater Imp gets +1/+1 until end of turn.

Forest

"We will mourn when there is time. For now, we survive."

Frantic Salvage

Put any number of target artifact cards from your graveyard on top of your library.
Draw a card.

You can cast this with zero targets. If you do, you’ll get to draw a card. However, if you cast this with at least one target and all of those targets become illegal (because another effect has removed them from the graveyard, perhaps), the spell won’t resolve and you won’t get to draw a card.

You choose the order of the cards you put on top of your library.

"Your ideas will be discarded and your will repurposed."

Fuel for the Cause

Counter target spell, then proliferate. (You choose any number of permanents and/or players with counters on them, then give each another counter of a kind already there.)

If the spell is an illegal target when Fuel for the Cause tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't proliferate.

You must be able to target another spell in order to cast Fuel for the Cause. You can't just cast it in order to proliferate, and it can't target itself.

Counter target spell, then proliferate. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.)

It chews open Mirrodin's husk and feeds on the outpouring of energy.

Galvanoth

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may look at the top card of your library. If it's an instant or sorcery card, you may cast it without paying its mana cost.

If the card has an X in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as its value.

If the card has any mandatory additional costs, as Kuldotha Rebirth does, you must pay them in order to cast the spell.

If the card you look at isn’t an instant or sorcery card, it remains on top of your library. You don’t reveal it.

You may pay additional costs, such as kicker costs, of the instant or sorcery card.

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may look at the top card of your library. You may cast it without paying its mana cost if it's an instant or sorcery spell.

"So, the survivors from Oxid Ridge are on the move. Let them come and witness predation in its purest form."
—Glissa

Glissa's Courier

Mountainwalk (This creature can't be blocked as long as defending player controls a Mountain.)

Glissa, the Traitor

First strike, deathtouch
Whenever a creature an opponent controls is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you may return target artifact card from your graveyard to your hand.

If an artifact you own and a creature an opponent controls go to the graveyard at the same time, you may choose that artifact card as the target of Glissa, the Traitor’s ability (even if they’re the same card: an artifact creature you own that an opponent controlled).

First strike, deathtouch
Whenever a creature an opponent controls dies, you may return target artifact card from your graveyard to your hand.

Mirran creatures that could withstand the Phyrexian oil found an abundance of crunchy snacks.

Gnathosaur

Sacrifice an artifact: Gnathosaur gains trample until end of turn.

Having flesh is increasingly a liability on Mirrodin.

Go for the Throat

If the targeted creature is also an artifact when Go for the Throat tries to resolve, it won't resolve.

"A true warrior fights with whatever's handy."
—Qerk of the Secret Warren

Goblin Wardriver

"Rid them of their unfaithful organs. Bring new hearts to the unbelievers."
—*Tome of Machines*, verse 1703

Gore Vassal

Sacrifice Gore Vassal: Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. Then if that creature's toughness is 1 or greater, regenerate it.

Let’s say you activate Gore Vassal’s ability targeting a creature with 3 toughness and 2 damage marked on it. The regeneration shield will be created just before the creature is destroyed for having damage marked on it equal to or greater than its toughness. The creature will then regenerate. That is, all damage will be removed from it and it will become tapped; any counters on the creature, including the -1/-1 counter put on by this ability, remain.

The regeneration shield will last until the turn ends or until it’s used.

You can activate Gore Vassal’s ability targeting itself, but it won’t get a -1/-1 counter or regenerate because it’ll be an illegal target when the ability resolves.

As the green sun crowned, Phyrexian prophecies glowed on the Tree of Tales.

Green Sun's Zenith

Search your library for a green creature card with converted mana cost X or less, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle your library. Shuffle Green Sun's Zenith into its owner's library.

If this spell doesn’t resolve, none of its effects occur. In particular, it will go to the graveyard rather than to its owner’s library.

If Green Sun’s Zenith is countered, none of its effects will happen. Notably, it will be put into its owner’s graveyard rather than shuffled into its owner’s library.

If you own Green Sun’s Zenith, but an opponent casts it (due to Knowledge Pool’s effect, for example), that opponent searches their library for an appropriate creature card, then shuffles that library. That opponent then shuffles Green Sun’s Zenith into your library. You won’t shuffle any library in this case.

In most cases, if you own Green Sun’s Zenith and cast it, you’ll shuffle your library twice. In practice, shuffling once is sufficient, but effects that care about you shuffling your library (like Psychogenic Probe, for example) will see that you’ve shuffled twice.

Search your library for a green creature card with mana value X or less, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle. Shuffle Green Sun's Zenith into its owner's library.

Gruesome Encore

Put target creature card from an opponent's graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. It gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step. If that creature would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else.

Phyrexian smog clouds choked the skies, threatening creatures who couldn't comprehend the menace below.

Gust-Skimmer

{U}: Gust-Skimmer gains flying until end of turn.

Hellkite Igniter

Flying, haste
{1}{R}: Hellkite Igniter gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is the number of artifacts you control.

The number of artifacts you control is counted when the ability resolves.

Hero of Bladehold

Battle cry (Whenever this creature attacks, each other attacking creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn.)
Whenever Hero of Bladehold attacks, put two 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens onto the battlefield tapped and attacking.

Although the tokens are attacking, they never were declared as attacking creatures (for purposes of abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks, for example).

Whenever Hero of Bladehold attacks, both abilities will trigger. You can put them onto the stack in any order. If the token-creating ability resolves first, the tokens each get +1/+0 until end of turn from the battle cry ability.

You choose which opponent or planeswalker an opponent controls that each token is attacking when it is put onto the battlefield.

Battle cry (Whenever this creature attacks, each other attacking creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn.)
Whenever Hero of Bladehold attacks, create two 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens that are tapped and attacking.
