Return target creature card with mana value X from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step.
To calculate the mana value of a card with Phyrexian mana symbols in its cost, count each Phyrexian mana symbol as 1.
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 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.
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.
If the creature is no longer on the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step, it won't be exiled.
Phyrexian mana is not a new color. Players can't produce Phyrexian mana.
If you're at 1 life or less, you can't pay 2 life.
