What was the quasi-recent set that helped out artifacts? I haven't seriously played since the Mirrodin-ish time (or whatever the artifact/samurai/spirit/etc block was)...

Scars of Mirrodin?

[/quote]Scars of Mirrodin is the most recent Artifact-heavy set, and is the current active block (Scars of Mirrodin/Mirrodin Besieged/???). The Samurai one was the Kamigawa block (Champions/Betrayers/Saviors of Kamigawa), which came right after the original Mirrodin block (Mirrodin/Darksteel/Fifth Dawn), both of which were 6/7 blocks ago.

I stopped playing back in the Invasion block though

I was referring to the part stein asked about the recent set that helped out artifacts. Actually, thinking about it, there have been 3 recent sets that had lots of artifact help in them: Shards of Alara, M11 and Scars, with M11 more of having 4 or so cards that help.

I think, no idea where I heard it from, that the name of the last set in the scars block will be Mirrodin Pure, which could represent either Phyrexia fully assimilating Mirrodin or the Mirrans pushing the Phyrexians out.

I have always been intrigued by this game, but never want to spend money on it. Is there a way for me to play this without spending money that everyone still does?

[Gasman]

But of course, Whendilin. MWS is a popular free card game program which you can upload MTG cards to and play online with others. It's very manual, since you have to upload each new set to it, and there is a lot of clicking, but it works if you want to play for free. I would still recommend going out and meeting other players, though, since the game is more about interacting and having fun with other people.

What's the story reason for Phyrexia coming to Mirrodin?  I thought the Invasion block ended up with Phyrexia asploded and everything fixed.

[Gasman]

Phyrexia did in fact blow up, asplode and has ceased to be. However, when Karn was gifted a piece of the legacy, it was tainted with Phyrexian oil, which is essentially a mutagen that evolves life that it touches back to Phyrexia's greatness. Karn made Mirrodin and while there a drop of the oil ended up somewhere on it. The official explanation for the sequence of events on Mirrodin last time we were there was that Memnarch was corrupted by the oil. After a long while the oil has created more of itself, and has mutated many beings who have essentially become the new Phyrexians. So, after assimilating enough forces, the new Phyrexians are now starting to come out their hiding places on Mirrodin and are starting to assimilate the plane.

The main charm about MTG is that even a deck full of shitty cards can be good if you know how to assemble it

[Vandamguy]

Bump.
