Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Phyrexian Crusader is a brutally efficient threat for black-based poison strategies, especially in aggro or tempo shells that want to force quick, awkward races. A 2/2 with first strike and infect already makes combat miserable, and protection from red and white shuts off many of the most common removal spells and blockers in those colors, letting it swing through aggressive boards and survive burn-heavy metagames. In practice, it pairs well with cheap pump spells, equipment, and evasive support that help it land poison counters faster; even one or two clean hits can put an opponent under immense pressure. Deckbuilding-wise, it fits best alongside other infect creatures or a dedicated poison package, where removal clears blockers and the Crusader becomes a protected closer. Its lore feels like a corrupted holy warrior turned plague engine, and its gameplay matches that image by turning every attack into a dangerous, relentless contamination.
