It means, "Of or from Phyrexia", which is a mythical place in
Dominaria. It's like saying, "American Cheese." :)

There was an article in IQ once that told about the history of Dominia. It
Said that Phyrexia was like the hell that artifact creatures go to when
they die. Now I am not exactly sure about that one. It could also be the
name of the demon that rules over said hell. Either way, it is not a very
fun place for a picnic.

Phyrexia is a sub-plane of Dominaria (where most of the action in the
Magic universe takes place). Phyrexia is an evil plane full of vicious
artifact creatures. Many artifact creatures come from Phyrexia. It was
either Urza or Mishra who first discovered Phyrexia in the 'modern' age.

In Magic, Phyrexian cards are usually black or artifact.

But phrexian.. the word in magic cards usually can be replaced by the word
"Useless" like:

Useless Marauder, Useless Tribute, Useless Dreadnought, Useless Walker,
Useless Devourer, USeless Portal, Useless Vault, Useless Purge.....

Maybe except of the War beast
Maybe we could put together a Useless Deck.
Maybe WotC will print other cards than Useless cards (give us opposite
color pain lands!)

later,
Kenneth

Greetings,
At least you have put usually, since Gate to Phyrexia is an
excellent card for Black....

Out of curosity, is there anywhere on the 'net one might find out about
the lore and history of Dominaria?

Phyrexian Vault is far from useless, particuarly in a fast mono-black
stairwell
deck - or thalids, or outpost, or anything that generates weenies, for
that matter.
