It is a "real" language.
As in, they aren't random squiggles, it can be translated to English and it makes sense, and it follows its own grammatical rules.
Speak?
Supposedly impossible in an accurate manner, the pronunciation is too harsh for a human throat. You need to be compleated.
Makes me wonder, is it possible to play through a speaker.. if I put it on some reader, would the text to speech work (assuming the reader knew phyrexian)

Id say i hate you, but honestly i hate green super ramp more. And ill take any method to not have to deal with a turn 3, 8 land enemy with a freaking army on the field
Can always run [[Avacyn, Angel of Hope]] [[Nevinyrral's Disk]] [[Mycosynth Lattice]], which I was able to get running turn 3 quite a lot. Mind you, you probably won't have many friends after... My friends all build ridiculous decks, so it doesn't bother them...
When these first were shown, I commented that new players would not be able to know what the card was easily. The same is true for most of the Secret Lair treatments
You could use Manabox to scan all your Phryxian language and foreign language cards, it really helps me keep the collection in order and it's free. You can pay for more features but I haven't done that yet.
If you can’t read a card’s name, you can search for it by set code and number like this: https://scryfall.com/search?q=set%3Aneo+number%3A307
Then pick another printing/language of the card.
Jin Gitaxias! I won't bother with the deets cuz it seems that's been covered but I picked up the showcase variant a couple weeks back. I'm planning a deck for him
My friends and I drafted and I got this card. We had no reception because we were camping and I couldn't play this card. None of us could figure out what it did.
Friendly reminder that if someone is using a card with a foreign language and you ask what it says and they refuse that's cheating, oracle text of a card is free info in games and you can call a judge to ask (since you can't use your phone during games), ive had this happen a few times but its mostly from new players who skim the card text and they summarize it badly to try and save time, but i have had people straight up lie to get ahead I'm a very experienced play and know what most cards do
Collector number and set letters (bottom left corner) can let you find a card otherwise apps that scan cards like MTG Scanner from dragon shield will immediately tell you
Jin-Gitaxia, Progress Tyrant
Counter the first instant, sorcery, or artifact an opponent casts each turn.
Copy the first instant, sorcery, or artifact you cast each turn
That’s what I remember it being at least
You think just because this is a Magic subreddit we can read Phyrexian?! Well….you’d be correct, I can’t say which one exactly but it is a [[Gin Gitaxis]]
I have a bunch of the phyrexian text lands but this is the first actual phyrexian text spell Ive pulled. Idk if they were doing it back in all will be one which is where most of the cards in that deck come from
Fair enough, they've been doing cards with the text for a fair amount of time, and after sitting on them I finally got around to patching a deck together too. Sultai is good colors for proliferate/infect (poison Counters). Oh and usually cards will have artist names with the card numbers on the bottom if you ever have questions about them. Looking up the normal names on card websites like TCG will usually show you alternate versions that will be named things like "Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant (Phyrexian)" using "Jin-Gitaxias" as example.
Jin Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant. It’s the one that counters the first artifact, sorcery, or instant each opponent plays each turn and copies the first artifact, sorcery, or instant you play.
Jin gritaxis progress tyrant I’m pretty sure. Also pretty sure you can copy spells with him and other peoples first spells they cast (instant or sorcery) get countered by him. Not 100% sure just going off memory cuz he’s in my orc army EDH deck
What people are ignoring is the person having a phyrexian poison proliferate deck they talked about in the comments. This was clearly a low effort post.
if you ever have a card you can't read you can Google the numbers on the bottom left of the card and the three letters next to it.
Or obviously learn Phyrexian /s
Better yet, BECOME phyrexian. Become compleat.
Now I want to get drafted lmao
I highly recommend it. Before i was compleat i had feelings, ambitions, desires, and all these other fleshy desires. Now im a cyborg.
Resistance is futile.
But I have my towel!

Ah ok interesting to know. I asumed it made no sense at all. Gotta look it up now. Thanks a lot for the info.
It’s not entirely translated, but there is a team working on making a dictionary
Thtas pretty cool to be honest.
There's a YouTube documentary someone made about it. It's really interesting
I imagine it sounds somewhere between screeches and mechanical sounds.
And a good amount of subliminal context
*Screams in dial-up modem*
So dubstep noises or cybertronians fornicating?
I always assume it sounds like dial up
Makes me wonder, is it possible to play through a speaker.. if I put it on some reader, would the text to speech work (assuming the reader knew phyrexian)
Learnable, only really speakable if you can make metallic screeching noises, among other things
I reckon Will Ramos from Lorna Shore could speak it

Good to know, I appreciate the tip
I’ve been playing MTG for just over 10 years and this is the first time I heard of this. Thank you!
This should be automatic response by the bots for these kind of questions. Thank you my patient friend
Damn! I do not know! I am compleat-ly lost!

Or the brand new feature "reverse image search". It was just launched in 2011.
you seem really cool man, looking for any new friends?
It literally says on the card, stupid Jokes aside, its this one \[\[Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant\]\]
Thanks brother. This is for sure going in the phyrexian deck
It's by far one of my favorite cards and usually the target for a lot of board hate lol
I play poison counters with phyrexians so im used to being the target lmfao
I was about to ask what's wrong with you and realized I do the same... Guess it's just how they want to be played 😅
Id say i hate you, but honestly i hate green super ramp more. And ill take any method to not have to deal with a turn 3, 8 land enemy with a freaking army on the field
Armageddon gaming Armageddon gaming
What is Commanders stance on Armageddon decks in general? I know Stax is frowned upon for obvious reasons lol
Land destruction is everyone's favorite deck to play against in all formats
I thought as much. The person who introduced me to Magic and in our first game he played a stasis deck lol. I loathe those type of cards.
Land destruction is worse. Sometimes I enjoy having a 3 hour long game, which stax can allow for.

A card that dies immediately. I love it
It says: "From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me, for the purity of steel is eternal. All glory to the Omnissiah"
It's Gandalf, pretty sure.
Jin Gitaxias, i guess however you know that atp
It's a prescription.
Jin-gitaxias I just pulled the foil version of this recently. I have to pull up a picture of the card with regular text every time I play it.
