Vanguard Series

Gix

Gix

Vanguard
{3}: Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand.
Through ruthlessness and raw ambition, Gix rose through the Phyrexian regime to the exalted rank of praetor. Even while overseeing many of Phyrexia's most important undertakings, Gix continues his own quest for supremacy . . . for in Phyrexia, the weak become fodder for the strong.

Mishra

Mishra

Vanguard
If a creature you control would deal damage, it deals double that damage instead.
Both complement and antithesis to his older brother Urza, Mishra also mastered the intricacies of artifice. It was Mishra's strength that first gave rise to the massive Phyrexian war engines on Dominaria, and it was his weakness that pushed him, Urza, and Dominaria itself to the point of annihilation.

Serra

Serra

Vanguard
Creatures you control get +0/+2.
Named for a benevolent goddess at birth, Serra fulfilled the prophecy of that goddess's coming. As a planeswalker, she embodies white mana and helps whole civilizations develop while both directly and indirectly inspiring countless individuals to be steadfast and strong in the service of light.

Tawnos

Tawnos

Vanguard
You may cast artifact, creature, and enchantment spells as though they had flash.
Tawnos brings a childlike wonder and an inherent skill to Urza's studio and bridges the wizardry of the workshop with the grandeur of the royal court. His speed and flexibility quickly earned him promotion from apprentice to master artificer.
Hand size bonus: +3
Life bonus: -4
Titania

Titania

Vanguard
You may play an additional land on each of your turns.
Voice of the Argoth forest, defender of its creatures, and enforcer of its laws, Titania is literally an aspect of the forest itself. Her power and her very existence are linked to the land: when the forest is healthy, Titania is ascendant. When Argoth suffers, Titania also bleeds.
Hand size bonus: +2
Life bonus: -5
Urza

Urza

Vanguard
{3}: Urza deals 1 damage to any target.
An artificer of unparalleled renown, Urza was a powerful cipher even before he was able to planeswalk. Seeing the world as a large, integrated machine is his greatest strength and weakness, enabling him to solve almost any problem but blinding him to his solutions' effects on others.
Hand size bonus: -1
Life bonus: +10
Xantcha

Xantcha

Vanguard
Sacrifice a permanent: Regenerate target creature.
A Phyrexian "sleeper agent," Xantcha has developed an inviolate sense of self. This aberration earned her a death sentence, but she was rescued by Urza and joined his crusade. Her Phyrexian credo of "Waste not, want not" has helped Urza more than even he comprehends.
