Events:
-The Phyrexians are in the middle of a bit of a civil war. The Dark Queen has gained tremendous amounts of power, and has stolen control of nearly half of Yawgmoth's mindless forces from him. The Generals have also had to pick sides. Some of the more cunning ones have decided to side with the Dark Queen, as it becomes clear that she has a winning hand.
- 9/3/17 The civil war is over! The Dark Queen reigns supreme over all Phyrexian forces! Yawgmoth, The Mess, and Gerrod were slain.
- 9/20/17 Avalon of the
Technomancer sacrificed himself to make sure the Dark Queen could not set foot in Nexus again, not until she can find out how to destroy his essence.

The Dark Queen's Faction
The Dark Queen
Created from an energy overload after draining Mech from
The_Threat, the Dark Queen is a true abomination. She is one of two parts of the Dark Woman, the part that kept her intelligence and memories. Using the nanite infused blood of the Herald, she was able to restructure her own body, and gain control of half of the Phyrexian army. She is still exploring her new abilites, but some things she does know that she can do, is she can absorb nearly any kind of energy with little to no harm to herself just by making physical contact. She has superhuman strength, flight, and can steal the powers of others by devouring them. The only kind of energy she can't absorb is kinetic. She can regenerate rapidly, and is able to steal souls of her victims. She can reach heights of a little over 250 feet tall! Her incredible strength doesn't seem to be grow proportionately with her size, though she is still much stronger, and her weight does increase proportionately to her size. She can also create weapons from her body and harness the massive quantities of energy stored inside her to use them. She refines energies to their highest frequencies before releasing them. She recently took the soul of Mech into her own body, freeing him of the pain he experienced and essentially claiming him as a member of her 'court'. She is easily the most powerful Phyrexian. On August 20th, she perma-vored
Experiment_TheHero, and fed what remained of her soul to a loyaL servant as a reward. After destroying Yawgmoth and devouring Mech's soul, she gained the power to create a temporary anti-magic field about 2 yards around her, and to turn into any machine she has seen before.She is the one true Queen of the Phyrexiamn army.
Dark Seductress
The Seductress is an agent of Yawgmoth that is meant to capture and if necesary, seduce others. She can change her form at will, making herself look like whatever she wants. This allows her to get close enough to others to infect them with the Phyrexian Oils. Recently, she joined with the Dark Queen, and was merged with Rayder of
The_Threat to form the Dark Seductress. She has the power to cause things around her to decay, to teleport, and to shapeshift into whatever she desires. The teleportation can occur between dimensions, but only if she is granted strength by her mistress, first. Standing at 7'9", she often towers over others in her normal form, and her change in size never effects her weight, which always remains the same.
Forgiveness
Her real name is unknown. It is believed that she had forgotten it when struck by the insanity of Phyresis. Like most angels that undergo the process, she kept a shred of individuality. She thinks of herself as a priest of Phyrexia and its teachings, and flies into battle to spread the necrotic oil and forgive those who rise up against the Phyrexians for their 'sins'. Hence the name she gave herself. She is quite capable of vore as well, but her best ability is that she can unbirth others, and when they come out, they are loyal, metallic Phyrexians. Instead of coming out rotted or disgusting, they appear to be more Metallic and clean, similar to Forgiveness herself.
Dark Priests
These are warriors controlled by Forgiveness. They lost their minds during the process of Phyresis, and now serve the Phyrexians as mindless drones. The fact that Forgiveness gave them this name suggests that somewhere deep down, she may have a shred of decency telling her this is wrong.
Mech of
The_Threat
Double_King
Fu_And_Keno
Cece_Jackals- was allowed to eat the remains of
Experiment_TheHero's soul out of the Dark Lady's ass, giving her dummed down versions of her powers.
Undertaker
The Undertaker is a dark sorceress in the employ of phyrexia. She has been a loyal servant since before his transformation, and is knowledgable on all things death. It is said that with a single touch of her finger, she can kill something, or bring the dead back to life.
Herald
The Herald is a bringer of death and destruction. She has a sadistic personality and loves to taunt lesser beings about there fate. Those devoured by her, have a chance of being crafted into new generals for Yawgmoth's army.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Generic Soldiers
These are the typical soldiers controlled by Yawgmoth and The Dark Queen. They make up the bulk of their forces. As each side advances and gets settled in Nexus, expect more variations of Phyrexian monsters to show up on this list!
Factory Beast
These creatures were bred and designed by Glissa to help spread the infection again. They stand at about eight feet tall, and the lumps on their backs produce large amounts of Phyrexian Oils. They are carnivorous, and whatever they eat gets turned into oils as well.
Beast
These are forest creatures that have been corrupted by the necrotic ooze and have since become mindless slaves. They number in the hundreds so far, and take orders without question. They stand about 9 feet tall on all fours, and are vicious, though not as strong as many other infected creatures.
The Obliterator
They are the soldiers of Yawgmoth's new army. The Obliterators are 12 feet tall and their spines can punch through a tank's armor without a second thought. They can eat twicee their own body weight without showing it.
Darkcoil Wurm
The Darkcoil Wurm is a 120 foot long monstrosity that burrows umnder Nexus park, dissolving the ground in front of it with acid and powerful jaws. They can burrow just about anywhere, and travel as fast as a commercial plane while underground.
Cystbearer
These hideous creatures are walking production plants for the Phyrexian oils. The oil grows in the boils on its back, and escapes through its mouth when they are ready. They spread infection wherever they go, and use convert everything they eat into the oils.
A brief description of how the oils work, turn away if you're feeling squeemish!
A grey, mercury-like substance from the plane of Mirrodin that corrupts whatever it touches. Machines, mortals, gods, even the ground it touches turns black and barren at its touch. It is not quite known how the substance arrived at Nexus, though it is thought it was brought by invaders.
Effects on Mortal creatures: The infection can spread three different ways. It can either start on the outside of a creature and work its way in, or it can find its way inside and work from the inside out. It can even have both happen at the same time! Although it tends to weaken the host, the host will feel much stronger, as the corrupting aura of the ooze begins to effect their mind. Normally the infection kills its victims, however, there are cases in which the victims are transformed into hideous creatures that slowly lose whatever sense or humanity they may have had. They become more primal and aggressive the worse they get, and feel obligated to do the bidding of their commanders.
Necromancers notes: "Subject appears to have expired mid-transformation, will disect later to discover the cause of this..."
"This subject, on the other hand, transformed exceedingly well, beyond expectations! He truly accepted the will of Phyrexia!"
Effects on machines: The plane of Mirrodin was home to living machines, and the ooze was able to corrupt them too. The gooey substance is highly corrosive, and often wears down metal, causing it to rust and become brittle.
Since the substance is conductive, it has been known to wear away wires and cause malfunctions in machines, sometimes bringing inanimate machines to life.
Effects on Immortals (Gods, ect): The goo doesn't usually kill immortal beings, but it can still alter them. Its presence is enough to cause their minds to slowly corrupt and go insane. They are not always as easily manipulated in this state, but still manage to cause chaos as the infection was originally intended to do.
Corrupted Pony
Even ponies are not immune to the corruption, though there are only a few of them that have fallen to it at the moment.
