About Pharika, God of Affliction

Pharika, God of Affliction, Legendary enchantment creature — god, designed by Peter Mohrbacher first released in May, 2020 in the set Journey into Nyx and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 20.13.

A Golgari graveyard-based deck would benefit from using Pharika, God of Affliction, as it provides graveyard hate and generates deathtouch creatures. However, other cards like Scavenging Ooze or Tarmogoyf may offer more consistent graveyard disruption or better overall value in certain situations. Pharika could see play in specific metas or as a sideboard option against graveyard strategies, but may not be a staple in every Golgari deck.

Rules

01/24/20

As a God enters the battlefield, your devotion to its color will determine whether any replacement effects that affect creatures entering the battlefield apply to that God. Because replacement effects are considered before the God is on the battlefield, the mana symbols in its mana cost won’t be counted when determining this.

01/24/20

If a God is attacking or blocking and it stops being a creature, it will be removed from combat. It won’t rejoin combat if it resumes being a creature later during that combat.

01/24/20

If a God stops being a creature, it loses the type creature and the creature type God. It continues to be a legendary enchantment.

01/24/20

If an effect causes a God to lose all abilities, its ability that causes it to stop being a creature still applies if appropriate.

01/24/20

Your devotion to two colors is the number of mana symbols among mana costs of permanents you control that are the first color, the second, or both. If an effect counts your devotion to two colors, a hybrid symbol that is both of those colors is counted just once.
