Surgical Extraction is a card in the upcoming last set of the second Mirrodin block, New Phyrexia. It features some of the new toys that cards have: Phyrexian Mana. It costs one black Phyrexian mana, meaning you can pay one black mana or two life to pay its cost. The implications are that you can but this into any deck that could utilize its effect, because it only costs two life to play. When cast, you can choose any card in a graveyard and exile it, then you search through the rest of the deck and hand to get rid of the others. This combo killer has giant implications, because any deck that has removal can deal a lot of damage to a lot of decks. Against a Valakut deck, a Valakut in a graveyard or a Primeval Titan taken out by a Despise can totally throw a deck into chaos. Even a Jace, The Mind Sculptor hit by a duress can lead to the removal of all of them from the deck. When paired with Duress, Despise, and Inquisition of Kozilek, they turn into a major deck killer. In red decks, they can remove annoying counterspells or creatures from a game, and in white decks they can prevent certain removal cards from hurting your game. The ability of this card to be in virtually any deck at the cost of two life is astounding, and a lot of combo decks will have to be ready for any of their cards to be taken right from the deck. This card will defiantly have an outstanding effect on the metagame, with Surgical Extraction and other one Phyrexian Mana cards like it popping up in all other decks.
