Phyrexians are a fictional race from the Magic: The Gathering universe, known for their biomechanical nature and relentless pursuit of perfection. They originated from the plane of Phyrexia, a dark and twisted realm where organic life is transformed into machines. Phyrexians often seek to assimilate other beings, merging flesh with metal to create powerful, hybrid creatures. The Phyrexian philosophy revolves around the idea of "compleation," which aims to eliminate weakness and imperfection. This ideology drives their actions, leading to conflicts with other factions in the Magic: The Gathering lore, particularly the Mirran resistance, who strive to protect their world from Phyrexian influence.
