Phyrexian Mana Symbol is a card mechanic introduced in the New Phyrexia set.
Details[]
It appears in the casting cost of certain cards and can be paid with either the required colored mana, denoted by the color of the symbol, or 2 life.
For example, Surgical Extraction says that you may pay one black mana or 2 life. All non-instant, non-sorcery Phyrexian Mana Cards are artifacts, but no cards with a Phyrexian mana symbol are colorless cards.

Rules of Phyrexian Mana[]
- You can't pay 2 life for the mana symbol if you don't have enough life. If you have less than 2 life, you can't pay 2 life instead of the colored mana. For example, even if Ben has a Platinum Angel on the battlefield and has 1 life, he must cast Surgical Extraction with 1 black mana.
- When counting the converted mana cost of such a card, each Phyrexian Mana Symbol counts as 1 mana of the denoted color, even if you always pay 2 life and not the mana.
- The Phyrexian Mana Symbol is not a new type of mana. You can't add Phyrexian Mana to your mana pool.
