The following examples of Phyrexian text have appeared in official Magic sources.

Nemesis Comic[ | ]

A proto-Phyrexian language appears on the cover of the Nemesis promo comic. Though the shape of the language appears to match modern depictions, individual glyphs as they currently exist are impossible to make out.

Scars of Mirrodin Block[ | ]

All Will Be One Trailer[ | ]

The Phyrexian language was fleshed out in advance of Scars of Mirrodin block. Phyrexian can be found in each scene of the All Will Be One trailer for Scars of Mirrodin.[1]

According to Doug Beyer, there is a system for pronunciation, and the speech heard in this promotional video is accurately pronounced spoken Phyrexian.[2] It is uncertain if the spoken phrases are pronunciations of the corresponding writing. The voice clips were sampled in the Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty official soundtrack song "One With Phyrexia."[3]
