How did Capenna Defeat Phyrexia?
Capenna, also known as New Capenna, was a plane deeply affected by the Phyrexian invasion. The dark and foreboding history of this plane is largely defined by the Phyrexian influence, which wreaked havoc on the metropolis of New Capenna. The city was in shambles, left to be consumed by the Phyrexian forces under the control of Yawgmoth, the malevolent father of machines.
Archangels Enter the Picture
In response to this crisis, an unlikely force emerged to protect the metropolis of Capenna – the archangels. These powerful warriors, known for their unwavering devotion to their cities, have a long and storied history of intervention in interplanar disputes. The archangels of Old Capenna recognized the threat to their metropolis and strove to salvage their city’s future by forming an arrangement with the archdemons.
The Unyielding Compromise
Though the exact details of their pact are shrouded in mystery, it has been stated that the demon’s magical potency infused the archangel’s plans, allowing their combined effort to create something extraordinary – a fortress constructed from their shared essence Halo. What was produced was a wondrous bulwark meant to contain the Phyrexian assault, safeguard their city and repel forces of compliation.

Karn: The Unwelcome Guest
Meanwhile, something unexpected appeared on the table – a former Phyrexian sympathizer, planeswalker Karn, arrived on Mirrodin around the time of the invention of artificial flesh. For reasons left unclear, however, this Planeswalker, fueled by his dark past with Yawgmoth and his own existential crisis, planeswalks to Phyrexia during the development of the Planes, leading to crucial events there. His destiny, unfortunately, was tightly linked with Yawgmoth. Karn’s motivations and actions become crucial during the events unfolded later on.

Resilience of Capenna
Facing this formidable darkness, it’s crucial understanding that while Phyrexus, through its birth pods and flesh vats, manages to create innumerable creatures, all of those created are subjected to twisted memories and potential loss. Their cognitive distortion is more than noticeable. This may be interpreted as a kind of subtle corruption, transforming the subjects. Despite this fact, the collective strength & unity of phyrexia were not always enough for Capenna.
