Reader Bruce Richard reported to TheStarkingtonPost.com Tuesday that the most recent Wizards Play Network mailing from Wizards of the Coast featured some very interesting information regarding something identified as "factions" coming to Magic with the release of Scars of Mirrodin. From the official newsletter, released by WotC:

"Scars of Mirrodin Game Day (October 30-31) features special rules allowing players to align their Standard decks with one of the factions featured in the set. Players that align their decks are eligible to win exclusive preview cards from the February 2011 Magic set, Mirrodin Besieged! This change is part of a marketing campaign that will kick off in September, themed around the factions presented in the Scars of Mirrodin block. For more information on Game Day, check out www.magicthegathering.com."

The factions themselves are undefined, leaving the community at large to question what exactly they mean. Stay tuned to TheStarkingtonPost.com for more information on this and more regarding Scars of Mirrodin as it becomes available.
