The Plane of Mirrodin

Mirrodin Besieged continues the story on Mirrodin in Magic: The Gathering, a metallic plane now gripped by the escalating Phyrexian invasion. The glistening oil has spread across the world's five districts, corrupting metal and flesh as the once-proud Mirran society fractures under the weight of the siege.

The Conflict on Mirrodin

In the story of Mirrodin Besieged, the Phyrexian forces press their advantage against the remaining Mirran resistance. Planeswalker Koth and other Mirran leaders fight to hold key strongholds, but the invaders steadily gain ground, compleating more inhabitants and transforming districts of the plane into outposts of New Phyrexia. The war between the two factions reaches a critical stage as the future of Mirrodin hangs in the balance.

The Mechanical and Flavor Identity of Mirrodin Besieged

Mirrodin Besieged captures the horror of a world under siege in Magic: The Gathering. It introduces the Living Weapon mechanic, in which equipment enters the battlefield attached to a 0/0 Germ creature token. The set expands the Infect mechanic and features Battle Cry for coordinated Mirran attacks, along with strong artifact and poison themes. These elements evoke the desperate struggle between the metallic Mirrans and the corrupting Phyrexian horde.
