==Themes and mechanics== ''Phyrexia: All Will Be One'' sees the return of '''[[Poison counter]]s''' and the [[Phyrexian]]-flavored '''[[Proliferate]]''' mechanic.<ref name="Spoiler"/> To give a different proliferation gameplay experience to the -1/-1 counters from ''[[Scars of Mirrodin block]]'' and the +1/+1 counters in ''[[War of the Spark]]'', neither of these counters are present, and instead [[oil counter]]s are used. This would be the first set since the simplified [[Portal]] sets to not use stat-changing counters and is the only premier set or equivalent to not have any. The new '''[[Toxic]]''' mechanic is a reworking of [[Poisonous]]. Instead of giving [[poison counter]] as a triggered ability, this is more like [[Lifelink]] adding the counters instantaneously (''Players dealt combat damage by this creature also get N poison counters'').<ref name="Jump"/> The '''[[Corrupted]]''' [[ability word]] is also new.<ref name="Spoiler"/> Corrupted is a [[Threshold]] variant for abilities that can only be activated or triggered if an opponent has three or more poison counters.<ref name="Spoiler"/> A keyword ability on [[equipment]] is '''[[For Mirrodin!]]''' (''When this Equipment enters the battlefield, create a 2/2 red Rebel creature token, then attach this to it''). This is similar to [[Living weapon]]. [[Battle cry]] and [[Phyrexian mana]] are featured as callbacks to the [[Scars of Mirrodin block|last visit to New Phyrexia]]. However, other than for [[compleated]], Phyrexian mana is present only as a cost to activate abilities.<ref name="One Direction 1">{{DailyRef|making-magic/phyrexia-all-will-be-one-direction-part-1|Phyrexia: All Will Be One Direction, Part 1|[[Mark Rosewater]]|January 17, 2023}}</ref> Five of the ten planeswalkers printed in the set are [[compleated]]. The set sees the promotion of two mechanics, [[flashback]] and [[affinity]], to [[deciduous]] status.<ref>{{TwitterRef|maro254|1616495073340059648|title=Flashback has become deciduous.|author=[[Mark Rosewater]]|date=January 21, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/707260642788327424|title=Is affinity deciduous now?|January 23, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{YouTubeRef|xUTysFUNdjc|Why is There Just 1 Flashback Card in Phyrexia: All Will Be One?|channel=[[Good Morning Magic]]|date=Janauary 25, 2023}}</ref> ===Card types=== The set introduces the '''[[Mite]]''' [[creature type]].<ref name="Jump"/> '''[[Planeswalkers]]''' are featured in both Mythic Rare and Rare, with ten total in the set. '''[[Rebel]]''' is seen for the first time as a creature type since the [[Time Spiral block]]. Four cards with the type represent the small number of [[Mirran]] survivors (although Equipment cards with the For Mirrodin! keyword create them as well.) On the other hand, more than 120 cards have the '''[[Phyrexian]]''' creature type. '''[[Sphere]]''' is a new [[land type]], associated with the [[New Phyrexia (plane)#Spheres of New Phyrexia|Spheres of New Phyrexia]]. <c>Atraxa, Grand Unifier</c> lists the new card type '''[[Battle]]''', as a teaser for an upcoming set. ===Counter types=== ''Phyrexia: All Will Be One'' introduces '''[[Oil counter]]s'''.<ref name="One Direction 1"/> ===Limited archetypes=== *{{W}}{{U}}: [[Artifact]]s<ref name="One Direction 2">{{DailyRef|making-magic/phyrexia-all-will-be-one-direction-part-2|Phyrexia: All Will Be One Direction, Part 2|[[Mark Rosewater]]|January 23, 2023}}</ref> *{{U}}{{B}}: [[Proliferate]] [[Control]] *{{B}}{{R}}: [[Oil counter]]s and [[Sacrifice]] *{{R}}{{G}}: [[Midrange]] Oil counters *{{G}}{{W}}: [[Toxic]] [[Aggro]] *{{W}}{{B}}: [[Corrupted]] *{{U}}{{R}}: Oil counters + noncreature spells *{{B}}{{G}}: [[Poison]] victory *{{R}}{{W}}: [[For Mirrodin!]] [[Equipment]] *{{G}}{{U}}: Proliferate and Poison
