I love it. Magic players need to man up and be willing to read cards that aren't just power/toughness and a couple key-worded abilities.

Thus far the Planeswalkers seem... underwhelming. Wottsy must have really been burned by Jace.

I don't mind complicated flavour driven cards, and I don't think new Garruk is hard to understand at all, but that card isn't so much "complicated" as it is a straight-up mess.

Also, Buge is right, he feels kind of weak. None of his abilities stand out that much, he can be tough to flip (if you really want to, I guess you can kill your own creatures, but that's a wasted turn and resources), and he's vulnerable (doesn't have a + ability on his front side and has to go down to 2 or 1 Loyalty to flip). Cranking out free wolf tickets all day might be good enough, but even so, that's nothing crazy.

Well, they both feel weak. Liliana's abilities are very situational. Her ultimate isn't a clear game-winner like many other PW ultimates. And the only way I could see Garruk safely transform is if you get him on the board on your second turn while an opponent has a 1/1 in play.

You can use one of your 1/1s too. Or one of his 2/2 wolves, in a pinch.

MadMAxJr · « **Reply #1445 on:** September 02, 2011, 02:40:10 PM »

That makes for an interesting mental image. Garruk walks onto the battlefield, throws out a wolf then proceeds to wrestle it in the vicinity of everything else you have on the field. As a result, he is terribly cursed. This terrible fanfic writes itself. It just lacks an ability involving having three wolves in play during a full moon.

McDohl · « **Reply #1446 on:** September 02, 2011, 02:42:08 PM »

Yeah...I could see it going down like this:

Turn 1, Forest, Llanowar elf.

Turn 2, Forest, something for 3 mana that can eat a hit or two to protect Garruk.

Here's a few choices:
Cystbearer (2/3 infect for 3)
Dungrove Elder (P/T = forests you control for 3)
Garruk's Companion (3/2 Trample for GG)
Leatherback Baloth (4/5 for GGG)

Turn 3, Forest, tap out + elf for Garruk, Garruk zaps the elf, and flips with 2 loyalty.

Yes, please. I definitely want my opponent to start destroying his own permanents so that he can play a 1/1 deathtouch creature or an Altar of Bone on turn 4.

:P

FYI guys, the best card in the set (by a wide margin) was spoiled:

Snapcaster Mage 1U
Creature - Human Wizard (R)
Flash
When Snapcaster Mage enters the battlefield, target instant or sorcery card in your graveyard gains flashback until end of turn. The flashback cost is equal to its mana cost.
2/1

Praise the fucking lord it's not a Mythic. Even so, it'll easily be a $15 rare and see play in all formats.

So, hey, Philadelphia's Modern thing is kinda wild. It isn't a single deck smashing things up, which is nice, but there are two Splinter Twin decks rocking it.

Mongrel · « **Reply #1450 on:** September 03, 2011, 09:00:24 PM »

All the crazy mish-mashed 12-post decks are hilarious. As are the ones using stuff like Reaper King + Shoals.

Hey, it's Bob's new best friend, Tiago!

Mongrel · « **Reply #1452 on:** September 04, 2011, 06:36:15 AM »

Yep, that's the very last invitational card.

Mongrel · « **Reply #1453 on:** September 04, 2011, 08:54:05 PM »

No seriously, this is the best fucking plane ever.
