Black's take on Pacifism. Maybe they should stick to Doom Blade; still, decent card for Limited.

A traditionally red ability and a traditionally blue ability on their mutual allies' card.

Also, never pray to Phenax.

I love the flavor text. Though, it is hard to imagine that being blind is really all that much of a curse, given petrification is the only other option.

Mmm, makes me want to play Nethack.

This is Crippling Blight crossed with Torment.

Phenax sounds more like God of Trolling than God of Deception...

Or God of Corrupted Wishes.

Phenax REALLY doesn't like the new Star Trek Reboot.

He also like aggressive decks, because this is great in one.

I like Phenax. He's far more fleshed out than any of the other gods. (besides xenagos)

Really love flavor text like this that tells a story that ties everything else in the card nearly together!

...then Phenax trolled all of Theros and blinded the gorgon.

Then soldier went merrily on his way and swung for lethal.

The flavor text actually ties back to the gameplay. You're facing an opponent's Gorgon enchanted with Lure (or maybe Sisters of Stone Death, with both "Lure" and "deathtouch" already built in). How does a creature save itself? Maybe for just this time, Phenax is exactly who your creature needs help from.

Solid card, has potential if Standard gets a good Enchantress in an upcoming core set, I could imagine them making an Argothian Enchantress functional with hexproof rather than Shroud... not that I'd like to play against it!

Use it on their bulky creature that's overbestowed.

Poor guy forgot to put the lid back on the blender.
