Phyrexian Arc
The Phyrexian Arc is the storyline of New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse.[1][2] It was Magic's third major Planeswalker arc after the Bolas Arc.
Scars of Mirrodin block set up the New Phyrexians as a force, but it was expected to be contained until the Phyrexians were given the ability to move between planes. This ability was shown in a brief hook at the end of Kaldheim with the surprise appearance of Vorinclex and the errata of the Phyrexian type, followed by Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty acting as a prologue with Tamiyo's compleation. The arc comprised the main story of four expansion sets released from September 2022 until April 2023: Dominaria United, The Brothers' War, Phyrexia: All Will Be One and March of the Machine with March of the Machine: The Aftermath serving as an epilogue.

Five mythic rare legendary Phyrexian Praetor creatures depicting the rulers of the Phyrexians, who were introduced in New Phyrexia. They appear individually within sets across multiple planes in the Phyrexian Arc. Similar to their original versions, they give a positive effect to the player controlling them, and a mirrored effect that hurts the opponent. |
