Seeing the results from the National Qualifiers and thinking back on the article I wrote on Vampires, I was led back to that deck.

Arthur’s first article for Quiet Speculation is a great and thought provoking look at the next expansion, Mirrodin Besieged. His inventive and sensible evaluations of the cards and potential interactions will serve every reader well in the coming days and months events.

Again this week Kellen Huber goes into the extended format with a darker side to the format with a new BR deck.
