MBS Primer Video

Hello again MTG peeps,

As tradition dictates, Wizards has produced another primer video ahead of the new Magic the Gathering set pre-release. In this their most recent Planeswalker Primer video, WoTC minions Dr. Ryan Miller and Dr. Bill Stark take a look at the overview of Mirrodin Besieged, officially released February 4 and provide tips for the pre-release this weekend.


Of note in the video : the Mirrodin Besieged Game Day cards are announced. Game Day events are standard format and held approximately one month after a set's release. Grab a bucket of popped Korn and let's watch . . .
