Some players may make the mental shortcut that the Defilers effectively turn one of the colored mana symbols in the spellโ€™s cost into a Phyrexian colored mana symbol. Despite the similarity in function, this ability does not cause the spells to have Phyrexian mana symbols in their costs. Sorry, Rage Extractor!
