Welcome To Phyrexia Festival: The Fair Basilica Event Guide and Decklists

With Phyrexia: All Will Be One’s release, we have five festival events to play in to celebrate! Battle your way through Singleton events with different emblems in order to claim as many ichor card styles as you can! Today, I’ll be covering the fifth and final event, The Fair Basilica.

Event Details

Behold the Fair Basilica! Its crimson sinews and porcelain metal are styled after its ruler, Elesh Norn, the dominant praetor of New Phyrexia. Her control over old Mirrodin’s mycosynth reserves has ensured her rule continues unchallenged . . . so far.

• Dates: February 25, 2023 8AM PST – February 28, 2023 8AM PST
• Entry: 2,500 Gold or 500 gems
• Format: Singleton with The Fair Basilica Emblem
• Structure: Play as much as you want until the event ends.

The Fair Basilica Emblem

If a permanent entering the battlefield causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.

Event Rewards

The Fair Basilica Decklists

For the final event, it would make sense that this emblem is the strongest! Unlike the other events though, this seems to benefit White the most as it has the highest amount of permanents with ETB abilities. There are non-White options, but they’re definitely not taking as much advantage of the emblem.
