Phyrexian Pegasus is a 2/2 flyer for four mana with protection from green — mediocre stats at a steep cost that no competitive format forgives. The only context where it earns a slot is Thurid, Mare of Destiny, where the horse tribal tag matters more than the rate.

Thurid, Mare of Destiny
Thurid, Mare of Destiny cares about horses specifically, and Phyrexian Pegasus is one of the few flying horses in the format — that tribal tag is the entire reason it sees play, not the stats.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Phyrexian Pegasus is legal across Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Pauper, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but legal isn't the same as playable. In Pauper, a 2/2 flyer for four competes against creatures that trade efficiency for value, and Phyrexian Pegasus brings neither. In Legacy and Vintage, the rate is irrelevant — the format is too fast. Commander is the one home where it sees real play, and even there it's narrowly tribal: Thurid, Mare of Destiny decks draft it for the horse subtype, not the protection from green.

Price Context
Current price
$0.16 bulk tier
At $0.16, Phyrexian Pegasus is deep bulk — the price reflects demand accurately. It won't appreciate outside of a sudden horse-tribal spike, so grab it cheap if Thurid is your commander and don't think twice about it otherwise.
