About Pharagax Giant

Pharagax Giant, Creature — giant, designed by Ryan Pancoast first released in Feb, 2014 in the set Born of the Gods. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 6.06.

Pharagax Giant would be a strong addition to a red aggressive deck looking to apply pressure and deal damage quickly, especially against multiple opponents in a multiplayer game. While it can be a powerful finisher if the tribute is not paid, there are potentially better options like Stormbreath Dragon or Thundermaw Hellkite that offer more immediate impact and evasion. However, Pharagax Giant could still see play in certain metagames or strategies that benefit from its unique ability to punish opponents for not paying tribute.

Rules
