Oxygen is toxic stuff until you evolve to use it. Just look at what it does to iron

Also known as the Great Oxidation Event[0].
Although the event is inferred to have constituted a mass extinction,[7] due in part to the great difficulty in surveying microscopic organisms' abundances, and in part to the extreme age of fossil remains from that time, the Great Oxidation Event is typically not counted among conventional lists of "great extinctions", which are implicitly limited to the Phanerozoic eon. In any case, isotope geochemistry data from sulfate minerals have been interpreted to indicate a decrease in the size of the biosphere of >80% associated with changes in nutrient supplies at the end of the GOE.

This is my biggest complaint with the Phyrexian plane.

I just want to say that in case anybody plays with Warlock II on DotPW (Manalink), if you add 1 Elesh Norn, 1 Grisselbrand instead of Living Wish, the deck becomes too lethal to even exist.

I remember when type 1 was called type 1. And kids discarding zero mana artifacts as useless.

Indeed. 70-ish years of exposure will kill you dead.

Currently imagining myself as some hideous beast that breathes the well-known toxic corrosive gas "oxygen".
Makes you think of the sulphur dioxide in Venus' atmosphere, and whether life could still evolve in those conditions.
