Item Condition

Magic: The Gathering single: Birthing Pod, from New Phyrexia. Our grade: Lightly Played or better. Pictured: this printing of the card. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.

Item Description

Birthing Pod turns every creature in your deck into a stepping stone. For one generic mana plus green mana or 2 life, you tap it and sacrifice a creature to search your library for a creature card with mana value exactly one higher and put it straight onto the battlefield. A two-drop becomes a three-drop, the three-drop becomes a four, and a deck built with a smooth curve can climb all the way to its best threat while collecting enters- and dies-trigger value at every rung.

Its Phyrexian mana is part of the fun: both the casting cost and the activation can be paid with life instead of green mana, which let the card show up well outside mono-green. It became the engine of the 'Pod' decks of early Modern, and in Commander it is a toolbox dream, chaining utility creatures into exactly the answer or finisher you need. Activation is sorcery speed only, so planning the chain is part of the puzzle.

This is the New Phyrexia printing, collector number 104, illustrated by Daarken, in non-foil. New Phyrexia is the set that introduced Phyrexian mana, so this is the card in its original home, with Daarken's grim, biomechanical vision of Phyrexia's creature factories.
