4.0

The long-anticipated invasion of Dominaria starts off with a bang on multiple fronts. Planar gates open up across the world and horrific, genetically twisted and mechanized troops spill out over New Argive, Tolaria, Zhalfir, Llanowar and others. I remember at the time a friend of mine looked at a card which had a bristly mech-soldier with a fantasy-modified AK in its arms and exclaimed "the Phyrexians have automatic weapons?! They've gotta go!"

It's true, Phyrexia had reached a pinnacle of ridiculous, modern evil. But, there's going to be a lot of fighting, surprising turnabouts and losses, and grief before Yawgmoth and Gerrard face each other.
