March of the Machine: A Grand Finale for the Phyrexian Invasion Arc
The Phyrexian Invasion Arc, a major storyline in Magic: The Gathering, reaches its epic conclusion in the upcoming set, March of the Machine. This set promises to deliver an unforgettable climax to the conflict between the Phyrexians and the Multiverse’s defenders.
The Last Stand Against Phyrexia
In March of the Machine, the Phyrexians launch their final assault upon the Multiverse. With Elesh Norn at their helm, they have become a formidable force, corrupting entire planes and turning their inhabitants into horrific monstrosities. The defenders of the Multiverse must rally together for one final stand against the invading horde.
The Power of Resistance
Despite the overwhelming power of the Phyrexians, the defenders of the Multiverse possess a potent weapon: hope. Characters like Ajani Goldmane, Karn, and Saheeli Rai have inspired others to fight back against the darkness, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
New Mechanics and Abilities
March of the Machine introduces several new mechanics and abilities that will shake up the gameplay and provide players with exciting new strategic options. One such mechanic is “Corrupt,” which allows Phyrexian creatures to spread their influence by adding poison counters to non-Phyrexian creatures they control.
A Focus on Compleated Planeswalkers
One of the most intriguing aspects of March of the Machine is its focus on compleated Planeswalkers. These once-beloved characters have fallen under the sway of Phyrexia and now wield their immense power for the cause of Elesh Norn. Players will have the opportunity to explore the depths of their warped minds and witness their unwavering loyalty to the Phyrexian cause.
A Culmination of Years of Storytelling
