Another Wednesday, another Intro Pack to look at. This time, we have one of the most flavorful creature types of Mirrodin being featured in form of the small artifact servant race called the Myr. They are mostly known to be small creatures and often associated with producing mana, but WotC definitely gave those guys some tools to make an interesting deck in general. Now, whether “Myr of Mirrodin”, this week’s deck, actually manages to rise to the occasion remains to be seen. However, seeing that this deck is listed as being mono-White, there is definitely something interesting hiding in the box. Let’s find out more in the article below.

Its Mirrodin time again; and what would this plane of everything artifact-wise be without a few colorless cards being featured in a Preconstructed Deck? Today, we feature a Blue-Red artifact-themed named “Metalcraft”; but don’t worry, despite the deck using two colors there are plenty of artifacts to go around. And for the uninitiated, even the name of the deck hints at lots of artifacts being played and even being necessary for maximum effectiveness. So, now that Intro Packs have reached a point where they actually contain sixty cards to work with, I can look forward to give the deck a run-down; and jump right into it.

I am sure that there are players that still get the chills when hearing the name “Mirrodin” mentioned. I have talked about the complete balancing clusterfuck that was Artifact Affinity multiple times before, so I am not going into detail here. However, I can imagine that some players were weary of the idea of returning to a plane that is honestly interesting in design and has brought plenty of powerful cards to the game, but was incredibly lop-sided in viability. I can already spoiler that the Scars of Mirrodin block is testament for WotC learning from past mistakes; or at least was at the time because nowadays they seem to hop from one catastrophy into the next. The return of grey cardboard comes with the Blue-Black “Deadspread” deck, which is honesty a pretty fitting name once you understand what the deck is going for. Let’s check it out.

The last article of 2025 actually also happens to seal the deal on the first Zendikar block. All fifteen Intro Packs total from Zendikar, Worldwake, and Rise of the Eldrazi have been released over the course of the last few weeks; and in the usual Intro Pack fashion, there have been more stinkers than great decks overall. Well, I can announce that we end the year on a high, since “Totem Power”, the White-Green deck I will take a look at today, is certainly one of the better products that came from that era. This is even more surprising if you think about the fact that this deck uses enchantments a great deal to get going, which normally does not make for a particularly powerful combo; at least not compared to other ways of making your creatures dangerous. Without further ado, let us take a look at this promising Intro Pack.
