<p>PV says (Channel Fireball article) that Phyrexian is more swingy and that the best and worst decks will come from that. Tom (Reeve)'s article on SCG also talks about it, and draft with faction packs (which sounds terrible).</p>

Nope, we have all the status and points that we need (ran a PTQ last year). We don't do FNM anymore because only stores or groups affiliated with a store are allowed to run them now and we are independent. Which sucks.<br></br>

I guess which one you go for depends on how brave you're feeling. Good poison decks will be just as brutal as they were in Scars sealed, but you need to be all-in so you're hoping for good poison guys from Scars. Mirrans will be much more consistent but not as powerful as a good Phyrexian deck. I think I'll stick with the Mirrans since I have a Mirran bracelet from the Scars game day that needs more love!
