Description
Glissa, sporting her brand new +3 can opener arm in a Spiderman-esque pose.Glissa has gone through some changes in her life. On the positive, long, lustrous hair, and she's become quite the hardbody. On the other hand, soft fleshiness has given way to slightly monstrous metallic corruption of all that was once good about her.
Being composed entirely of metal has it's ups and downs. Cellulite is a thing of the past. A fortune is saved on body-shimmer. And, copper looks a little like a weird tan. But, turtle wax is more expensive and time-consuming than moisturizer. The bathroom scale is unabashedly cruel. Airport security is a nightmare of biblically epic proportions.
For Magic: the Gathering. Copyright Wizards of the Coast. Art directed by Jeremy Jarvis.
Our sympathies to the body polishing crew that Glissa sent to the emergency room for "overzealous and inappropriate buffing."

I love how the advertisement above this picture is for 'modern art.' Couldn't help but laugh about that.

I could just imagine air port security, "Ma'ma this card may say that your entire body is composed of metal, but you still can't take that arm-length blade with you into the terminal."

I believe you mean +3 MANopener. Man, Phyrexia is just on a rampage...
I wonder what would happen if you exposed the Eldrazi to Phyrexian oil...
Probably the end of all things. I wouldn't be surprised.

Goodness gracious... WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HER?! SHE DESTROYED ARTIFACTS, NOW SHE REVIVES THEM!
I'm seriously wondering why she betrayed Mirrodin...

I will admit that I am glad for siding with Phyrexia TWICE and got two copies of her! She looks very very cool but her story also breaks my heart a bit.

Somewhere, Chuck Norris is looking at this and thinking "Holy Shit! I need to really start working out again! They're catching up!"

What a sinister, cold figure, the fact her body seems to be made up of a metallic substance adds to it. At first glance, she appeared to be a lot nicer than expected, after noticing the claws cutting into solid rock and her death stare, I am comfortable to say that I wouldn't feel safe around her. Well done, keep up the good work.

I initially wasn't very fond of this piece when I saw it in the form of a playing card. Seeing it here, though, in its detailed glory? It's now one of my favorite-ever arts commissioned by Wizards of the Coast. The texture and lighting in her "hair" alone is stunning.

I wonder if there are any sort of plot coupons that when assembled release a massive nova of energy to wipe out all Phyrexians and de-infest...I mean de-phyrexify Glissa.
Starcraft parallels abound here.

This is such an amazing picture, I hate that Wizards didn't use it for the card!

Well, they did use it for the pre-release promo card. So you can get your hands on some.

I was wondering if they used it for the promo. Well at least it got on a card somewhere, but I think your picture is much better than the one they actually printed.
