# Soul of New Phyrexia Soul of New Phyrexia represents a specific moment in Magic's design philosophy around artifact-focused strategies. Collectors appreciate it primarily as a Commander staple that bridges casual and competitive play, fitting naturally into artifact-heavy decks that value both utility and resilience. The card's flexibility—offering protection, recursion, and board presence—makes it functionally relevant across multiple formats. As a mythic from Commander 2016, it carries moderate collector interest. The set's limited print run compared to Standard releases means nonfoil copies maintain steady demand among players building artifact decks. Collectors typically view it as a functional card rather than a chase piece, valuing it for playability and deck construction rather than scarcity alone.
