Rulings
If you're at 1 life or less, you can't pay 2 life.
Phyrexian mana is not a new color. Players can't produce Phyrexian mana.
A card with Phyrexian mana symbols in its mana cost is each color that appears in that mana cost, regardless of how that cost may have been paid.
As you cast a spell or activate an activated ability with one or more Phyrexian mana symbols in its cost, you choose how to pay for each Phyrexian mana symbol at the same time you would choose modes or choose a value for X.
If the creature is no longer on the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step, it won't be exiled.
To calculate the mana value of a card with Phyrexian mana symbols in its cost, count each Phyrexian mana symbol as 1.
If the creature card has {X} in its mana cost, that X is 0. Remember that the value of X chosen for Postmortem Lunge is independent of the value of X on other cards.
