If there is one card I miss from my days of early Magic it has to be Simulacrum. The funny thing is that if any retro card screamed
Phyrexia, it was
Simulacrum
.
For one Black Mana and any color (converted B1) it allowed you to retroactively assign all your damage to a target creature you control.
It was the answer to a
Channel
/
Fireball
casts too late. Since it was retroactive you could wait around as much as you like. Let your opponent, like a fish, widdle away at your life total and when he finally takes the hook you reel him in.
It is also a great combo card. Used with
Phyrexian Obliterator
, since
Simulacrum
doesn't change the source,
Cho-Manno, Revolutionary
,
Mogg Maniac
or the loads of indestructable creatures out there. Even sending all your damage into a poor 1/1 was just good fun.
The most important thing it is an
Instant
. There has to be something said about shock factor. Even if they know it is in your deck, like a counterspell, they have to wonder if you're ready to spring on them. Seeing a last ditch
Rampage
get fizzled into a creature while realizing they are left completely open to the death blow.
Simulacrum and Phyrexia were made for each other story-wise.

Gotta say you are correct on that one. Might add this one to my Glissa EDH. It would be hilarious to redirect and infinite fireball to a phyrexian crusader.
