What You Need: Mirrodin Besieged Edition

[rileyandholly88]

Welcome all to another What You Need! Continuously exploring the cards from sets you should obtain and how many to keep up with your vastly growing collection of Legacy and Vintage cards! I really do like Mirrodin Besieged and I like it more than Scars of Mirrodin! Forget what I wanna say, I am sure you all are enjoying the new set as much as I am profiting from the two Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas I pulled from the same box! Now, on to the list!

Sorcery:
Black Sun's Zenith X4
Creeping Corrosion X4
Distant Memories X4
Green Sun's Zenith X4
Lead the Stampede X4
Mitotic Manipulation X4
Morbid Plunder X4
Praetor's Counsel X2
Slagstorm X4

Artifacts:
Blightsteel Colossus X1
Flayer Husk X4
Ichor Wellspring X4
Phyrexian Revoker X4
Spine of Ish Sah X1
Sword of Feast and Famine X2
Titan Forge X2

Instants:
Crush X4
Divine Offerings X4
Go for the Throat X4
White Sun's Zenith X2

Creatures:
Cryptoplasm X4
Glissa, the Traitor X3
Goblin Wardriver X4
Leonin Relic-Warder X4
Massacre Wurm X3
Mirran Crusader X4
Thrun, the Last Troll X3
Viridian Emissary X4

Lands:
Inkmoth Nexus X4

Planeswalkers:
Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas X4

That is all of it, love the variety of cards and so many of them seem so basic, but new at the same time. Not really been so in to a set for a long time, this is a real treat for me. I hope the next set, the third set in the block, ends up being New Phyrexia. Who knows, we could end up with a second Invasion Block?

Update: Just saw an awesome idea for Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas in Legacy and I have been completely changed in my opinion of the card! Just pulled my auction on Ebay.com a few moments ago and saved myself some heartache!

Sorry but, no Tezz? What's going on?

Everybody seems to hate on the Distant Memories as an opponents choice of either Diabolic Tutor or Concentrate. Glad to see it getting some respect. Yawgmoth's Reprint seemed like the most obvious addition to legacy.

I like it because its a way to search for something and because slowely cards that allow you to search for specific cards of any kind are being weeded out of Legacy for better or worse, its not necessarily good, but its an option in the RIGHT deck which there wont be many.

Praetor's Counsel is seriously broken in multiplayer formats like EDH. It's pretty much play win. All Suns' Dawn is still my first choice but why not run both!!

I see it being a card that someone breaks, not majorly but it finds its place somewhere and sometime. More Vintage than Legacy though.

I think that a card like praetors councile could be used in legacy , and in paticular dream halls. it would allow you to go off more easily and it would lower your curve and give you less redundent copies of creul ultimatum in your deck. plus it stops you from fizzling in middle of your combo .that is if your opponent can stop you from killing them.
