"Portal to Phyrexia: Into the Portal We will Go."

Portal to Phyrexia ranks high in the cards that I wish to acquire in the coming months.
The 9 mana cost seems prohibitive of course. But this will not matter in Daretti decks that keep on dumping cards in their graveyards. They also keep salvaging cards from there so it will just keep coming back. To be sacrificed and then salvaged as needed. Damn.
Cards like Trash for Treasure at 3 mana would have this as a priority target. Notice that unlike some artifacts you do not need to cast it nor does it get shuffled in your library when it hits the GY.
In my book this is a better version of Spine of Ish Sah which is targetted removal. This is a sweeper that will bypass indestructibility and ward or shroud or hexproof.
Plus it has that added bonus of reanimating things on your upkeep. No creatures on their side of the board and probably a beefy one for your side. Seems fair to me. Since this is colorless you can put this in any color, imagine reanimating Praetors like Sheoldred,whispering one or Jin Gitaxias.
This is how you make double Phyrexians as well. Sheoldred is now Phyrexian Phyrexian. Bwahahaah.
Don't forget that you could also blink this artifact at the end of your turn, clearing the path for attackers and even reaping the benefits of it's reanimation ability on your upkeep.
Way to keep the fires burning Wotc. You still have my attention.
