Some template information :
The set contains 155 cards (60 common, 40 uncommon, 35 rare, 10 mythic rare, and 10 basic land).
Prerelease events: January 29-30, 2011
Launch Parties: February 4-7, 2011

Mirran and Phyrexian Factions
The war rages on. Each Mirrodin Besieged card (except planeswalkers and basic lands) has an identifying insignia in its text box that shows which faction it belongs to. (The Mirran insignia looks like a segmented ring. The Phyrexian insignia looks like a circle with a slash through it.) Faction insignias have no effect on game play.

And onto the new keyword techs and other info . . .

New Keyword Ability: Battle Cry
Found on Mirran creatures, battle cry is an ability that grants a +1/+0 bonus to other attacking creatures.

New Keyword Ability: Living Weapon
Living weapon is an ability of Phyrexian Equipment that automatically provides a creature to wield the Equipment when it enters the battlefield.

Cycle: Zeniths
The Mirrodin Besieged set includes a cycle of five Zeniths, powerful spells that can be drawn multiple times over the course of a game.
