GAME OVER!!!!!!!!

Phage is an awesome card in a Multiplayer game with custody battle i just keep using phge to target opponent and they just keep losing.

NOTE: This review is based on type I play, in type II it would be a mere 3.
Phage is an incredible card that kills the opponent with just one swat (no pun intended). The problem with the card is getting it out. Well type I players, look no further 'cuz there is an answer to your questions - Volrath's Shapeshifter.
By using Volrath's Shapeshifter, one can BECOME Phage legally (as long as you cast him from hand) to smack down on your opponent. You can even combine this with block dodgers such as Fear or Shadow to get through, then change to Phage when dealing damage. Vioala! Instant win! Keep in mind, the best support card for this is Survival of the Fittest.

I would give this card a million stars if I could. This card with dauthi embrace is a winning combo. Definitely one of the best black cards to ever hit print. This card has definitely moved up there with nantuko shade on my list.

this card has got to be the most powerful creature

This card can be very usefull in an all all out suicide deck. The only bad part is somebody coud just chainers edict it, then use Balthor the Defields ability making Phages controller lose the game.

CONSIDERING THIS CARDS HIGH MANA COST, THIS CARD IS A MUST HAVE FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO COLLECT LEGENDS. IT ALSO HAS THE PROBLEM OF BEING DIRECTLY CAST, SO SOMEHOW YOU'VE GOT TO GET IT INTO THE GRAVEYARD, WHICH YOU COULD JUST PURPOSELY LET YOUR HAND OVERFLOW, AND DISCARD IT, BUT THEN THERE'S THE HARD PART, YOU HAVE TO BRING IT BACK FROM THE GRAVEYARD, THAT IS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE GAME, BUT I'VE GOT A CURE FOR THAT TO. YOU COULD EASILY USE THE NOSTALGIC DREAMS CARD FROM TORMENT. thEN TO FINISH THE GAME, YOU COULD GIVE IT FLYING, OR MAKE IT UNBLOCKABLE, AND YOU WIN!

This card is to good it cant be real just like gremlins dwarves and eskimos
-- By Homer donut master from Springfield on March 02, 2003 |
|
ok this card is awesome. even though she is just 4/4, it is like a basilisk, but only better, since she kills you too if she deals you damage. wicked. but you can only summon her from your hand...so forget about getting her on turn two or three : )

This card is not as good as you guys think it is and it does not deserve 1 million stars.
-- By Todd Jones from none of your business on April 13, 2003 |

She's pretty good...but opponents delight in using Animate Dead if she's in the graveyard...

Wow some people need to learn how to play magic. This card isnt that great, its an overcosted novelty creature that shouldnt see real play save for FEB. Why waste 7 mana on this monstrosity?
-- By Andy from The Real World on April 21, 2003 |
|
I like it for fun casual games but if you want to win tournaments, keep her in your binder.
-- By Anonymous from Htown on May 01, 2003 |

I love this card. But there are two problems with it. The first one is that it is not that powerful, being a 4/4 creature. The second is that it's mana cost is a little bit high. Besides that, it's an excellent card.
-- By Anonymous from Portugal on May 11, 2003 |

I can't believe that no one wrote a review for this card i mean this card rocks, you what i mean. it is a 4/4 with if you deal damage to target creature it destroys that creature. not satisfied with that well look at this if it deals damage to target player you win the game. now that is sweetness.

Phage isn't anything special. You people gotta realize that Phage doesn't go into any old deck. There's billions of ways to make Phage's controller lose the game via removing it from play until end of turn then bringing it back to play. Plus she costs 4 black mana and a combined cost of 7. What's that good about Phage? Not really that much...
If you want a much better creature that's black and in Legions go for Scion of Darkness. You can Zombify it, exhume it etc. Much better.

This card is so the best i mean akroma sucks regarding her abilties. phage is the best in my opinion for all u suckers who like AKROMA. their is nothing better than her, NOT EVEN AKROMA!
-- By Henry Valdes from DC, Washington USA on November 10, 2003 |
|
Aside from Akroma, Angel of Wrath, this is a very good card. I mean think about it, you can win the game in two minutes! The mana cost is respectable, and you can even destroy a monster by doing damage to it. Although there is a small chance of you dieing if it doesnt come out of your hand, the probability isn't that high. This card is a must for all black decks.
-- By Tonius Caesar from NY on November 25, 2003 |
|
okay all you noobs... this card is nothing special at all. okay so you deal damage and they lose the game. this just goes to show you that the new magic set are really starting to suck. if you dont play it from your had you lose the game which rules out reanimation and by the time your opponent gets out 7 mana a GOOD player should have the game over.

A absolutely brilliant card which i award 5 stars becasue she rocks is worth anothe 5 bucks then what it says there
-- By HeHeman2003 from Oxford,U.K on February 09, 2004 |

Easy win. Get yourself 4 Zombie Trailblazers and and three or four Phages, just to make sure that you draw it. With the Trailblazer, turn an oppents land into a swamp and with an other zombie, give Phage swampwalk. If you have trouble getting enough mana out in you deck, then get a couple of Cabal Coffers as well.

Any black creature that is somewhat decent i can play undead warchief (times 4 so all zombies get +8+4) then i can play conspiracy and choose zombie then i play belbe's portal to play any creatures i ever get in hand for 3 land AKA HYPNOX, PHAGE, NAKTUKO SHADE, ETC ALL ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!

this has to be the best card in the game
-- By Anonymous from cleveland/oh usa on April 13, 2004 |

When Legions was about to make its debut, those who followed the Magic: the Gathering storyline knew that there were two big cards coming: Akroma and Phage, and in my vote, Phage takes the gold. Its ability is one never seen before, and can be used to your advantage in so many ways! It's perfect in monoblack control decks, discard decks, graveyard decks, and ESPECIALLY swampwalk decks (if you combine it with evil presence and filth you can't lose!). So, this card is pretty decent, but it can have its downsides (the whole ability that makes you lose if you play it from your graveyard or what have you,) but I still love it. I give this wondrous black legend a good 4 stars. I would've given it 5 except for the fact that it can be too dangerous at times. Enjoy!

-- By boris chiu from hong kong on December 29, 2004 |

on of the main cards in my mono-black. I seldom have problems with getting her out. If you are add dark ritual to your deck. Also give her the Kusari-gama. I asked Magic about this combo and found out it works. If they block you kill everything they own do to phages ability. If they dont the lose. either way it sucks to be them.

Not a bad card the effect is beutaful (as long as you draw it and have enough mana) though they're are setback like how weak it is, Phage is weak overall with 4/4 while say...Akroma Angel of Wrath blocks the first strike will destroy phage while Akroma keeps it's life. 3/5 still not bad though, much cheaper in price compared to Akroma
-- By Temujuin from Somewhere 0_0 on May 17, 2005 |

Don't use Volrath's Shapeshifter, It will see phage as not being played by you hand. That is because Volrath's Shapeshifter is putting the card down not you. Same thing goes with elvish piper. Never understood why.
-- By Anonymous from NN on May 23, 2005 |
|
An awesome card!! Use it with Death Pits of Rath and Ronin Cliffrider, or just a Reiver Demon and your opponent is open for you to send phage to attack!! The reason i give it four stars is because back then it owned, but now you can easily kill it...

-- By Anonymous from paducah kentucky on December 05, 2005 |

This card is just not that good! It costs eight mana and is a 4/4 without flying, fear or shadow. That means, unless you combo this one out in the first four rounds your opponents are going to have stronger creatures when you get phage out and then she just dies taking a slightly stronger creatre with her for the cost of eight when a terror would have done the same thin for two. So in a combodeck its a winning formula, otherwise pretty bad.

get mirror gallery out and have four of these!
-- By Anonymous from r on April 06, 2006 |

ok, here is what you do: First turn, play a swamp and mox emerald, then play Summer Bloom. then play Lake of the Dead, sacking the original swamp, then play two more swamps. tap Lake of the Dead and sack a swamp, producing 4 black mana, tap the leftover swamp for a dark ritual and there you go, seven mana to play phage. 1st turn, mind you!

I've run into this card 3 times playing magic the first time I just kept sucker blocking it and won the game, the second time I fried it with a pair of shocks and the third time I bounced it with outworldly jouney and won, my point is Phage isn't all that great and for the mana I'd rather have a kokosho.
-- By Andrew Dickey from MI on June 13, 2006 |

I cried when my friend beat me thirteen times in a row using Phage so I Bought one.

for starters phage is a chick! she is jeska as a planes walker, that aside it is an amazing card that pwns all! and if you have a vedalian orery and a donate in combo with a beacon of unrest you just won the game my friend pwned!

ok...lets see if this one goes through...PHAGE SUCKS...well now that thats out...Phage (as me and my friends call it) the Unplayable is horrible. people, please read between the lines, phage cant be played due to these reasons. 1) mana cost is too high___2) COUNTERSPELL...costs 2 mana___3) any good burn spell___4)Phthisis___5)the solution to all creature problems...WRATH OF GOD........i could go on, but that list would go past the 2000 character limit...just remember, so much better cards could be played with 7 mana...like plated slagwurm...unless you have a deck that makes 127 mana(and yes ive counted) on turn 7...please dont run Phage the Unplayable

Brilliant card, however, now Phage is banned in Tournament. :(
-- By Magic Faerie from PA on March 06, 2007 |
|
The simple fact that you could (assuming you get 3 rituals and a dauthi embrace) get this out and make it unblockable on turn 3 makes it terrifying...and shes tough enough that a shock or lightning bolt wont kill her. she should have been more to cast or a 1/1~instead another broken card gets added to the list.
-- By jon from PA USA on March 09, 2007 |
|
Not sure what the guy who said that you can only play phage from the graveyard, but the card says you only lose if you DO play it from the graveyard or from your libary.
but yea awesome card with Dauthi Embrace!
-- By will huff from Scottsdale, AZ USA on March 13, 2007 |

It's hype comes from being a legend. Competetive decks should not be running this. First of all, it costs a lot(Can be solved by dark rituals). Plus, people will be chump blocking this thing, that or just killing it. By the time this comes into play, your opponent, if he/she is skilled, should be running you over.
Still like Phage as Akroma's rival, but nothing more.
-- By Anonymous from Jurai on March 16, 2007 |

This card sucks. There are too many ways for your oponent to abuse its ability to kill you and it is to fragile for the 4/4 body it has.

Man, this is a great card for collections, but horrible in most decks. A guy I work with swears by this card, and builds decks around it, and has yet to with through phage dealing dmg.
-- By Bill from Detroit, MI on April 30, 2008 |

Combine with Protective Bubble, making it unblockable, and attack! Forget the high mana cost!
-- By Anonymous from Poplarville, MS USA on May 28, 2008 |

this is a good card but against any good deck there is no point of playing it. now i have heard of someone playing it from their graveyard with dread return and using Angels Grace so that they don't loose the game, but i always win because its a crap card that is just fun to have and show off but not to play with.
-- By That Guy from europe on June 20, 2008 |

I'm sorry but I have to agree... It's good but impractical... When my opponents play this in extended, I simply play otherworldly journey and end my turn...

First turn lay down with 5 cards. Swamp, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Phage.
Second Turn Kill Kill Kill, awesome looking card, got out of serious play before Legions came out tho.
