Phyrexian Triniform |
Artifact Creature - Golem (M)
When ~ dies, create three 3/3 colorless Golem artifact creature tokens.
Encore (, Exile this card from your graveyard: For each opponent, create a token copy that attacks that opponent this turn if able. They gain haste. Sacrifice them at the beginning of the next end step. Activate only as a sorcery.)
9/9

As a big fan of Wurmcoil Engine, I approve of anything that bursts into more things when it dies. Encore looks like fun, and in a typical 4 player game this is for 27 power that then turns into 27 power spread across 9 bodies. Little Doubling Season or Rings of Brighthearth and you get to have some serious fun. This is the sort of big, splashy card/effect I was hoping to see from this set.

Also, I'm kinda sad we don't have a 12 mana symbol available.

Edit: Nevermind about the mana symbol, thanks Tevish.

= {mc}(12){/mc}

And apparently the forums have gotten "Good" enough to reject [noparse] or using other tags with nothing in them to break tag functioning and show the code.

Anyway, yeah, this seems... very battlecruiser but good if you get it going. Maybe a decent colorless reanimator target, especially for any sort of "one hit wonder" reanimation like Dawn of the Dead (With Dawn, note there's no "or leaves the battlefield" -- you can bring this guy back, swing, sac to something, get tokens, and repeat next turn)

That art is shockingly not very phyrexian.

I thought the same thing... it's a little spikey, but it's shiny and not at all organic. There's also nothing "trini" about it. I get the feeling that this may have been vaulted generic golem art.

That is very helpful, thanks.

I'm also not really sold on the art (saw some comments on Reddit that it actually looks more like a Mirran creature than something Phyrexian). I wish they'd made it more obvious that it was made up of three separate creatures. They've done a good job with the concept in the past: Gemini Engine, Wurmcoil Engine.

Or Hirohiko Araki art for that Jojo comic of his.

Clearly, this is the work of an enemy stand!
