Week 8 – (April 22)
The Mirran Counterstrike may have just won the war! Rumors and stories coming from deep within the core slowly make their way back to Mirrodin proper. The Mirran Champion from Mephidross has held his gate secure against the powerful forces of Sarkhan the Mad. Sarkhan fell before his defense, sadly underestimating this ever powerful hero. Did his master know that this Champion would be his downfall? Sarkhan fell into the recesses of the ichor-filled core, defeated and leaving his master’s whispers to fall on the hero from Mirran’s swamplands.
Why protect this world when you can own it? You are strong…all else are weak. Use the invaders to gain control permanently and then destroy the invaders like swatting a fly when you are done. Who would stand in your way? Surely not that peasant hero who barely holds the other gate secure? It is even being said he was struck down by another wizard lord. Take your rightful place in this realm. Always, your valiant efforts and slaving to these people is taken for granted. Take what you deserve!
This week sees the fall of a hero to the darkness that is Phyrexia!
Bubba of Mephidross is no longer a Mirran Champion, but instead Phrexia’s newest general. Soon he will let his knew master into this realm, and the only other person who can stop him is a former comrade, currently weakened from his recent encounter with Tezzeret. If his sealed gate should fall to this traitor, then the Mirran Counterstrike would have been for nothing, at it will only be a matter of time before Mirrodin is instead New Phyrexia.
This week, before anyone else may play a league game, Jason and Merrit must finish a MATCH. As the Mirran’s won the counterstrike, Merrit will go first in the first game. There are no free mulligans in this match. Each player must construct a 60 card Scars of Mirrodin Block Constructed deck w/o sideboards (they are not limited to cards in their league card pool). Both decks MUST contain 4 copies of Blightsteel Colossus. For purposes of this MATCH, Blightsteel Colossus is LEGENDARY. If either player wins with Blightsteel Colossus, or if the other player concedes or kills themselves, then that player wins the MATCH immediately and the other player loses his Blightsteel Colossus from his league pool. If the Phyrexian side wins this way, every Phyrexian player may add a Bightsteel Colossus to their league card pool – that means a 2nd copy for the Traitor. If the Mirran side wins this way, it will take 13 poison counters for any MIRRAN player to lose a game for the remainder of the league.
In addition, all of Jason’s tiebreaker points up this point are subtracted from the current Mirran War Badge total and added to the current Phyrexian War Badge total, though Jason does not add them to his personal total for War Badges he has earned.
After this match is completed, everyone may play 3 Skirmish games this week under the normal Skirmish rules with the following exception. All decks must now be at minimum, 50 cards. Players earn 1 additional league point each time they play a league game using a different deck that includes no copies of a card already used this week.
