    A card with Phyrexian mana symbols in its mana cost is each color that appears in that mana cost, regardless of how that cost may have been paid.

  • WotCJun 1, 2011

    As you cast a spell or activate an activated ability with one or more Phyrexian mana symbols in its cost, you choose how to pay for each Phyrexian mana symbol at the same time you would choose modes or choose a value for X.

  • WotCJun 1, 2011

    If the creature card has {X} in its mana cost, that X is 0. Remember that the value of X chosen for Postmortem Lunge is independent of the value of X on other cards.

  • WotCJun 1, 2011

    If the creature is no longer on the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step, it won't be exiled.

  • WotCJun 1, 2011

    If you're at 1 life or less, you can't pay 2 life.

  • WotCJun 1, 2011
