For the most part, Phage was a servant of the First of The Cabal, the leader of an evil group of black-magic aligned summoners and sorcerers.
Yes, Phage the Untouchable is banned in the Commander format.
She's the corrupted version of another character in the Magic the Gathering Universe. Part of the Odyssey and Onslaught cycle was based around the adventures of the barbarian Kamahl, and his sister, Jeska. In short, blinded by rage and madness, Kamahl fatally wounded her and left her for dead. As she lay dying, Braids, a Cabal summoner, saved her life using evil magic. But it wasn't until later, when the First of the Cabal unsuccessfully tried to kill her with his lethal touch, that Phage the Untouchable was truly born.
When building a deck around Phage the Untouchable as a commander in Magic: The Gathering, it is important to include cards that can protect her from being destroyed or countered, such as cards that grant hexproof or shroud. Additionally, including cards that allow you to cheat her into play without casting her directly, such as through reanimation or flicker effects, can be effective. It is also helpful to include cards that can give her haste or allow you to attack immediately after she enters the battlefield to take advantage of her powerful ability to instantly defeat opponents.
No in a nutshell. She is easy to deal with, is expensive to play and you can't use alternate casting methods to play her. That said if your opponent can't deal with her or at least block her, she wins you the game. However, most players call her 'phage the unplayable'. she was supposed to be a rival of Akroma, angel of wrath but in card form at least akroma wins hands down.
phage
temperate phage
DNA single
The substance a phage leaves outside its host cell is typically referred to as the "phage progeny" or "phage particles." These particles can include newly synthesized phage DNA and proteins, as well as the phage capsid that encapsulates the genetic material. This material can go on to infect other host cells and continue the phage replication cycle.
Phage titration is needed to determine the concentration or titer of phages in a sample, which is crucial for ensuring the effectiveness of phage-based therapies, determining the optimal phage concentration for experiments, and monitoring phage growth dynamics in culture. Titration allows researchers to quantify the number of active phages present in a sample, providing valuable information for various applications in phage research and biotechnology.
c. Repression of the phage genome - A phage coded protein, called a repressor, is made which binds to a particular site on the phage DNA, called the operator, and shuts off transcription of most phage genes EXCEPT the repressor gene. The result is a stable repressed phage genome which is integrated into the host chromosome. Each temperate phage will only repress its own DNA and not that from other phage, so that repression is very specific (immunity to superinfection with the same phage).Reference: http://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/mayer/phage.htm
