Spined Thopter, Artifact creature — phyrexian thopter, designed by Pete Venters first released in May, 2011 in the set New Phyrexia and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
This Spined Thopter card could be beneficial in a blue-based control deck that focuses on stalling the game and maintaining board presence with evasive threats. While its ability to be cast with either blue mana or life payment offers flexibility, there may be better options like Spellskite or Hangarback Walker that provide more utility or resilience in certain matchups. Whether Spined Thopter sees play would depend on the specific strategy and meta of the deck, but it could be a solid inclusion in the right build.

A card with Phyrexian mana symbols in its mana cost is each color that appears in that mana cost, regardless of how that cost may have been paid.

As you cast a spell or activate an activated ability with one or more Phyrexian mana symbols in its cost, you choose how to pay for each Phyrexian mana symbol at the same time you would choose modes or choose a value for X.

Phyrexian mana is not a new color. Players can’t add Phyrexian mana to their mana pools.
