Phyrexian Scriptures

Sweeper Effect Inquiry

Hey Mark, you say that black unconditional sweepers are in color pie, but White continues to be the color to get a new variant of that effect almost every set. Black has mass creature destruction, but lately it’s been tied to cmc or toughness. Can we get a black variant that destroys everything with a small rider? Something like Cleansing Nova being modal or Time Wipe saving a creature? Closest thing black has is Phyrexian Scriptures lately.

White is primary in board wipes and black is secondary.

Artwork Appreciation

Personally, I liked the way phyrexian scriptures looked but a lot of my play group didn't, however after seeing history of benalia, everyone in my play group loves the way they look. Stunning art and a nice frame. Very well done

Thank you. James, our graphic designer, did amazing work.

Watermark Rule

Hi Mark! If I have a Stamp of Approval in play choosing Phyrexia watermark, does it pump Oculus from Mirrodin Besieged, Phyrexian Obliterator from Masters 25 and an animated Phyrexian Scriptures from Dominaria? Or are those considered different watermarks?

I rule all the same watermark.

Phyrexian Scriptures Layout

My friends hate the layout of Phyrexian Scriptures. I have the opposite opinion. Any thoughts on how the layout came to be and why not use a normal card frame?

We needed the chapter structure because often more than one chapter can be the same effect. It couldn’t be done inside the normal frame without looking clunky. It also allowed us to give the Sagas a very distinctive look.

Sagas Watermark Query

Does the thing on Phyrexian Scriptures count as a watermark? Also, do all sagas have watermarks?

That does count as a watermark. I’m not sure if all the Sagas have a watermark. My gut says yes, but that is just a guess.

Sagas Visual Praise

I just wanted to say that the visual design on the sagas is amazing, I love the way Phyrexian Scriptures looks! Kudos to the team that came up with the design.

I’m also very happy with how they turned out. For that might not get the context, let me explain. Each of the Sagas shows a story through art from within the world of Dominaria and the style of each type of art varies from Saga to Saga. All of them have the vertical art.
