>>48058067
Looks nice.
That +1 can be used to defend too.
The -2 is also a huge effect for only 2 loyalty point.
>>48058110
Really? Two free cards a turn is pretty huge for something that costs 4, as is Omniscience.
>>48058197
Yeah, that's my thoughts. It's pretty hard to have the +1 not go off and she's too big to bolt. She's some nice, reliable card draw on a decent sided ass.
Looks very blue, why is it tri-color?
+1 and -2 are great but I don't like her ultimate.
>>48058264
I'm honestly not sure beyond 'They didn't want 2 mono-blue walkers and Jace exists'.
>>48058197
Especially when you consider it works on every turn.
Do you have 8 players, and some way to force people to attack you?
That's 16 cards a turn!
Pretty bonkers.
+1 is great. Any creatures. On combat damage. Works defensively and offensively.
-2 is strong. Tap down any threats opening up your +1 for free cards or to protect her to get the ultimate.
-7 draw 3 and omniscience. Also ult with doubling season out
8/10 strong ass walker.
>target 2 enemy creatures with her +1
Yeah ok come on attack me I'm cool with that.
Need her for my Clue deck

>>48058264
Detaining permanents is secondary in white, and drawing through combat is both at least a little white (especially with how well the ability worms on vigilance creatures, giving you the potential to draw 4 cards) and really green.
>>48058609
drawing from combat is green? And white? Since when? Its been on blue cards historically, but I cant think of any green or white.
Also this isn't detain, its freeze which is also mono blue. Detain stops abilities going off too.
None of these effects are outside the blue pie.
>>48058634
Delayed draw but I think it counts
>>48058634
Hunter's insight, hunter's prowess, snake umbra, warrior's lesson.
>>48058651
That is one, but thats also a 'power matters' thing which makes it more green than blue.
>>48058659
I guess.
So the effect can be green, but is traditionally blue and is on way more blue cards. She doesn't need to be green, she just is.
>>48058634
>None of these effects are outside the blue pie.
Neither are they exclusively inside the blue pie.
>>48058634
None of the effect are outside of her color identity, but they didn't need green or white to make it fit. I would've liked her to be just two colors. The green seems stapled on, and unfitting of someone like Tamiyo, who used to be mono-blue.
>>48058634
>drawing from combat is green?
Hystrodon, Keen Sense, Ohran Viper, Seshiro the Anointed, Silverpelt Werewolf, Snake Umbra, Warriors' Lesson, Cold-Eyed Selkie, Hunter's Insight, and Hunter's Prowess.

drawing from combat has indeed been a green/blue effect.

She's kinda massive on the natural order. White-Blue-Green fits pretty well for a Natural Philosopher like her.
I want five
Not sure how I'll make bant control around her but I'm gonna
And I'll have to make a not-boring Baby deck for edh which will be difficult since I can't see her slotting into horde of notions
>>48058676
Unconditional draw is blue, draw that depends on creatures is green. Blue doesn't have a monopoly on draw, blue just has the easiest time enabling it.
>>48058709
Just make UW and splash green for her. Ez.

>The Somberwald has become a hunting ground for the Dronepack, the group of werewolves that have succumbed to the flesh-twisting power of Emrakul. That is not to say that the Dronepack is really a werewolf pack, since Eldrazi drones are only part of the greater presence of the Eldrazi, just like a finger is the part of the hand, or the hand a part of the body. The Dronepack could be considered as a drop of blood in the organism that is Emrakul, and the Titan itself a finger, even if that finger is powerful enough to smash planes, especially since Avacyn, the founding figure of the church of Avacyn, and her Collar (Avacyn's Collar) have been corrupted by the Eldrazi. Because Avacyn hunted werewolves, but mostly—
You know the rest.
>>48058634
Drawing from combat damage is green
Drawing from combat damage to player is blue.

Last time I tried to make UW control it turned into turbofog, so I don't even have an appropriate shell for her

Welcome to MtG
>>48058845
Pretty much all ultimates are good. The question is how reliably you can get there.
I don't think she has a home in any Modern deck and I don't see her spawn her own new deck.
>>48058901
>what is bant
It's when you get a mana dork that talks shit and tells people to get hit
>>48058919
>>48058914
>>48058913
Thanks. Seems weird to have an 8 year old set turn "oh I'm playing a W/U/G deck" "cool" into "oh I'm playing a bant deck" "a what? Like, agrro and insulting banter or something?" "No I'm using the bant color scheme" "And that is?" "You don't know what bant is? Fucking newbie."
>>48058919
>Calling them by their Tarkir names
The only acceptable one is Mardu because that color combo doesn't seem to have a nickname. America, BUG, RUG and Junk are superior names.
>>48058964
They're memorable. Tarkir names not so much, at least for me.

Thanks wizards
>>48058895
BG is also really powerful and popular in the current standard
>>48058980
>America
More like Burguer, what are those shit names
>>48058993
Kys
>>48058980
Except calling Jeskai for America is retarded if you are not American. Also I mostly hear Junk when talking about the traditional midrange deck so I find Abzan to be more clear when I just want to refer to the colors.
>>48058988
I think it's because people already had BUG, RUG, Junk, and America for 4 of the 5 color combinations which are all catchy
>>48058964
They have been commonly accepted both withing the company and the playerbase. No offens but you really have to be a newbie, considering almost all decks of those colour schemes in all formats are called by the Alara names, barring some gimmicky decks.
>>48059029
>Not being American
Call it French then I guess.
The biggest disappointment is the white in the mana cost. Now she won't fit in my green/blue clue's matter deck. :(
>>48059047
I think Jeskai is quite catchy, and considering I don't really like either of the countries mentioned I'll use it.
I'll agree on Junk, RUG and BUG tho, they're far better.
What happens when both creatures targeted by her +1 deal damage on the same combat damage step? Does she put a trigger on the stack for each creature and you draw two or does it work like Thopter Spy Network where you even if multiple creatures damage, it's the same trigger and just draw one?
>>48059018
Not until you reprint the enemy fetches.
>>48058676
Drawing based on creatures dealing combat damage is definitely a green thing, and definitely a blue thing.
>>48059138
Tamiyo triggers and you draw cards for her, and then separately but at the same time Network triggers and you draw a card.
>>48058964
Fucking newbie.
>>48058964
Alara planes and Ravnica guild color combos are even casually known in magic. Literally play with one person who has at least one years experience and you would know this. Plus google is still a thing, you can just type something in and find out what it means! It's pretty cool, actually
>>48058067
>bant colors

>>48058266
>I dont like free spells for the rest of the game and 3 cards to get me started
Why, although i get it a bit if you mainly play standard but only a bit
>>48058878
I know but I don't want a bunch of dead high cmc cards sitting in my hand because I couldn't fire off her ulti. Are there any cards that are good without Tamiyo AND play well into her ulti?
>>48059434
Kruul Ultimatum
>>48059434
>Are there any cards that are good without Tamiyo AND play well into her ulti?
Any Cantrip or draw spell.
>>48059434
All of them, like literally every card in magic that isn't already free, I've never been playing magic and said "gee I'm sure I'm glad I don't have Omniscience out because I only have 1 and 2 mana cards in my hand, that would he a waste."
>>48059434
EmraKruul
>>48059434
Then don't play a lot of high cmc cards? Play things that investigate a lot so you can still have a sink for your mana and then each card you draw fuels the emblem more since you can pop off spells for nothing. Paying 0 for any spell that costs more than 0 is getting value no matter what it does.
>>48059434
don't build your deck around her ult, there's no way you can reliably pop it off. 4 turns is an eternity for a Planeswalker to survive unscathed. just enjoy the free spells when it happens every 10 games.
>>48059043
So unless I've been playing the game competitively for 8+ years I'm a newbie? Wow you're elitist.
>>48059348
Actually, that's a lie. People more often than not call their deck by the colors and not by some shit like horkery or Dundalk
>>48059719
I'm going to have to call bullshit on this, I have never encountered a player who didn't offhandedly refer to a two color deck by its appropriate guild at least once.
>>48059745
Name them then. Not everyone plays at a shop that's been going on since ice age.
>>48059719
For the enemy shards, like BUG or RUG, yes but for the allied shards and all the 2 color pairs the names from alara and ravnica are ubiquitous.
>>48059745
In my experience, the Guild names are used less frequently than the wedge or shard ones.
>>48059761
Not that guy but
dimir
golgari (sp.?)
izzet

and I'm missing a color pair but I can't tell which one
>>48059807

>>48059807
None of those make any sense. Is rakdos like a U/W deck or something?
>>48058425
What? This sounds fine. Is anything more than a sentence with a single subject overwritten now?
It's like what happened with B^U metastasizing to every other webcomic ever all over again

>>48059761
>ice age
Alara was 2008, and there's been a return to ravnica set since. 8 years is not much at all. You'd be hard pressed to find somebody calling their RW deck a "Red White" deck, and not just "Boros".
>>48059807
>Forgetting Orzhov and Gruul
>>48059828
rakdos is black red, while blue white is azorious.
>>48059807
mother fucker you forgot orzhov
>>48059822
Nah, I was missing WB, which I also can't remember the name for
>>48059828
They're names. That's how names work. Do you walk up to people and tell them they don't look like and Angela, or spend your days pondering why a table is a table?
>>48059807
Gruul is rg and you're missing b/w orzhov
>>48059835
8 years is a long fucking time asshat.
>>48059702
Not at all. I've played the game for four years myself, but Alara colour combination names were by far the stuff of year one.
>>48059828
the real question is, how long have you been playing and not have encountered any cards from the ravnica block?
>>48059856
>Do you walk up to people and tell them they don't look like and Angela, or spend your days pondering why a table is a table?
It should be plainly obvious that a table is a table in its adherence to an ideal of table-ness, that is, its similarity to the essence of that which makes a table a table
>>48059856
Angela is a name for a person. You don't call a triple color deck "agdkdedkfdn" and expect someone whose been playing for one year to instantly know what your deck is.
>>48059863
fuck me, i remember when i went to the alara reborn event, and got a hellkite overlord from one of the packs. fuck i miss the fresh feeling of going to an event...
and playing jund...
>>48059863
>8 years is a long fucking time asshat.
Doesn't matter, if you play a lot and talk with your opponents about their decks, you're bound to come across people referring to the shard/wedge/guild names.
>>48059828
Don't be retarded. Pic related.
>>48059867
Considering that ravinca is nearly a decade old and only modern players use stuff that old I'm say he's been playing for anywhere between one to seven years.
>>48059879
Left is takiti. Right is maluma. Prove me wrong.
>>48059762
BUG is a terrible name for a deck that doesn't use insects.
>>48059875
>You don't call a triple color deck "agdkdedkfdn" and expect someone whose been playing for one year to instantly know what your deck is.
I mean, I would, though. And if they didn't, they could just ask what colors that meant. And then if they were still confused I would tell them about Alara and how those names get used a lot even for people who started playing long after it (e.g., myself). And if they were pissed off about it for some unfathomable reason, I would tell them the truth, which is, "Well, people just like the names enough to use them and they caught on, I guess."
>>48059885
Return to Ravnica was only 4 years ago, how old original Ravnica is isn't important when a refresher course just happened.
>>48059885
rtr, gatecrash, and dragons maze were literally less then 4 years ago. And even then, more generals come from that block than the old ravnica block.
jarad, melek, niv mizzit, obz, borbor...
That is a strange color combination for the character. I don't remember anything about her indicating the white or the green. It's literally just so Jace can be the only mono-blue walker, huh?
>>48059903
Too bad fucker. The guild names are retarded and should have never been made.
>>48059923
calm down, friend
>>48059875
If someone plays Jund Midrange, they absolutely are going to say "I'm playing Jund Midrange" and expect you to know what it means.
>>48058067
wow, wizards really doesnt want any diversity in standard, do they? what the fuck are they doing
>>48059918
Speak English fucker. I don't care that you cal your deck an izzet ice bucket. It's a stupid fucking name that detracts from any actual play at Magic. Just say it's red/blue and be done with it for fucks sake.
>>48059875
Yes, and? People like calling them by these names. Why should experienced players stifle their own enjoyment just to make it very marginally easier for new players? What did you expect coming to any board and loudly declaring you don't know what the fuck you're talking about?
>>48059923
You are retarded and should have never been made.
I made a thread for this already but maybe you guys can help.
What card is this art for? I need to know so I can masturbate onto one.
>>48059936
>"If someone says they play Jund midrange I expect them to know what it means".
So you're speaking in monkey language to someone because you can't be bothered to say "I'm playing (color)/(color) midrange". Faggots like you need to die.
>>48059923
>The guild names are retarded...
Why? I like them. They all sound kinda nice and feel natural for what they're referring to, for the most part. It helps that I really like the language group they used as inspiration, to be fair, but what exactly is WRONG with them?
>and should have never been made.
I mean, this seems downright confused. Are you just opposed to made-up proper nouns in general? Would you rather that Emrakul's cards were "Big Space Jellyfish Monster #1" and "Big Space Jellyfish Monster #2"? Would you rather that cards not mention parts of the lore they're referring to, e.g., "Return to Merfolk-land" as opposed to "Retreat to Coralheim"? Is "Coralheim" a retarded name, too? Would you rather planes weren't named, but described, e.g., "Return to Spooky Edgar Allen Poe Plane" instead of Shadows over Innistrad? I don't get it.
>>48059922
Basically,yes.
As the patreon saint of investigate the mechinic, it makes sense for her to have those colors.
>>48059957
Probably just promotional/product art, not card art.
>>48059957
>Oath of Liliana fucking confirmed
the prophecy!
While we're on the subject, favorite deck name? Cephalid Breakfast personally
>>48059942
Or, you spend five minutes learning the vernacular.
Do you complain when people call something a cantrip, or refer to a spell as "ramp"? Do you need to be told what milling is?
>>48059968
Ugh. I hate posters. They're so much harder to find.
>>48059957
Take a wild guessMaro confirmed we're gonna get one of these every block. Kill me now.
>>48059959
It's like having to learn an entire fucking language to understand what the fuck people are talking about in a CHILDRENS CARD GAME.
>>48059958
>So you're speaking in monkey language to someone because you can't be bothered to say "I'm playing (color)/(color) midrange"
Actually it's (color)(color)(color) midrange. Yes, it is MUCH easier to say "jund" than the three colors involved.
>>48059983
Well either it's poster art or an oath, either of which means more money that I'll have to spend. :\
>>48059942
no, but saying the guild name generally lays out the direction the deck will go. for instance, the green black golgari will most likely be a re animator, while the red blue izzet will generally be directed and spell slinging shennaniganry.
stop being so god damn butt hurt that it makes sense. i feel your pain though, for not being smart enough to know what some terms are, i don't know battlecruiser, or midrange, or any similar terms
>>48059976
"Skred"
"Manaless Dredge" for the sheer what-the-fuckness it inspires in players who aren't familiar with it
>>48059942
"Ice Bucket" is a really cool name for a deck, actually. Thing in the Ice for the ice, Hot Soup to make it unblockable maybe?
>>48059993
What the fuck is Jund you monkey fuck? Speak English.

>>48059942
>>48059958
I hope you realize how retarded you sound. Insular communities create their own language.
UR spell-slinging is different from UR control is different from UR combo, regardless of colors.
If you want to play, learn the language. You should be able to know what I'm playing when I say Izzet Delver or Shardlrss BUG.

>plays a game for kids
What a fucking loser nerd
>>48060006
Maybe if you had a lot of tap or lockdown effects with an appropriate flavor. Play up the "Ice Bucket Challenge" as a freezing thing.
>>48059990
Well, yes, but that's what interesting about it!
It's like any other hobby. If you went up to your mom and complained about how your GM TPK'd you and your friends with bullshit "Rocks fall" shenanigans, she'd most likely look at you as though you had two heads. If you try talking about sports and you don't know what any of the terms mean, you're going to look pretty stupid pretty quickly. If someone is unfamiliar with skateboarding culture, they might know what an "ollie" is, but they might not know what a "900" is or how significant it is. Would you stop saying shit like b&, cheese pizza, or sage because a recent migrant from Reddit might get confused? Of course not.
It's all jargon, slang, cultural capital or whatever you call it, that lets other people know you're part of a subculture of some kind. In my opinion, it's a beautiful thing.
>>48060031
I don't think ANYONE expects that. You're just being melodramatic now.
>>48059923
Why are you so butthurt, faggot? Does it really blast your ass so hard that nerds have nerd names for their nerd shit in their nerd game?
>>48060064
Play it or don't.
Do you think we are going to get another two cycles of spells with off-color activated abilities going the opposite way around the color wheel? Because I was into that when they did it with off-color flashback costs in original Innistrad/Dark Ascension.
>>48060037
That's quitter talk! I'm positive there are more buckets out there.
What about Masterwork of Ingenuity? It's got a crucible on the art. That's kind of like a bucket. Maybe we could outfit our Thing in the Ice with various Equipments and copy them for value?

And so, Anon fucked off back to his basement, covered in cheeto dust and stinking of unwashed belly button funk. "H-Heh, got 'em." He whispered to himself breathlessly, and returned to his eternal crusade to mildly inconvenience groups of people on the internet.
After many attempts to make an Ayli deck, i can't seem to find one that i like, that works well enough. Is there a way to make her a bit more reliable and consistent?
Yeah. I hate the jargon because it just doesn't make any sense for a newcomer. Why is Jund called that when you've probably never seen the original shards cards ever or any of the guild gate lands.
>>48058067
But why is Tamiyo in Bant colors?

Where are people getting these images and why has no one scanned these art books yet?
Also, I love how fucking smug she looks
>>48059922
There's a lot indicating green, actually, and a little indicating white. She believes in leaving things as they are and not interfering--that's green. She also believes in sticking to her own rules--UW. White seems to me to be stretching it more than G, but it definitely doesn't seem like it's stretching it that much.
>>48060203
In terms of the card, the +1. Drawing cards from creatures is a green ability. In lore, no idea. I too am rather mad at this development. Tamiyo was the thing I was most looking forward to going in this set, and she's in fucking bant.
>>48060195
What makes white white? what makes blue blue? It's a waste of time to ask these questions.

Neither black nor red follows any kind of rules whatsoever. UW can certainly follow a personal code. It's the color of rules lawyering.

Buddy, I'm so new I don't even have a deck and I'd know exactly what people are reffering to with those names, though granted I'm as interested in the flavour of magic as the game itself if not moreso. Still though >>48059903

Tamiyo considered her own death and that of Jace unimportant compared to her promise not to use her mega-scrolls. If the options were break that rule or be killed by Avacyn, she chose "be killed by Avacyn" without hesitation.
Black and red would never do something like that, but a white character definitely would.
>>48060353
>Tamiyo considered her own death and that of Jace unimportant compared to her promise not to use her mega-scrolls.
Why the fuck's she carrying them around in the first place? Dig a damned hole.
>>48060328
Oh my god yes.
>>48060350
If you don't even have a deck you aren't a magic player.
>>48060369
Because she would rather be able to teleport the mega-scrolls with her between planes than leave them in a single spot for so long.
>>48060369
Presumably it's the "if I have them and never use them, nobody else can find and possibly use them."
>>48060215
Time fuckery? that doesn't sound very grean though, if anything green is more about PRESERVING the timeline, as opposed to violently bamfuzzling it with with several gallons of taupe paint and a sink plunger.

Jund is called Jund because it's called Jund.
That's how names work, they don't have to mean something. As soon as a name gains traction, it becomes self-sustaining.

>After many attempts to make an Ayli deck, i can't seem to find one that i like, that works well enough. Is there a way to make her a bit more reliable and consistent?
Format notwithstanding, Clerics is a fun as fuck kitchen table deck. She's a great addition as you can't always get your Starlit Sanctums.

>>48060369
Hiding mega-scrolls away and hoping nobody finds them is a bad idea when there are planeswalkers with divination spells flying around all over the place. Didn't something about mega-scrolls happen earlier with Chandra vs. Jace?

You can play Magic without having a deck, anon. Most people have more than one deck, so it's not hard to find someone willing to let you play against them with one of their decks. I was playing Magic with a group of friends for about a month before I had my own deck.
>>48059982
I have some from a friend working at flgs. Ask yours, they should have a lot of spares, wizzerds give a lot of them and shops use like half of them usually. I even have glorious og olivia beside my bed.

But unless you physically own a deck you aren't a player, no matter who lets you use their extra decks. Being a magic player is more than just playing the game. It's about hoarding cards, that new booster pack smell, trading cards for stuff you need to build, holding your first mythic in a double sleeve even if it's something shitty like Sphinx of the Final Word, and that elation of winning a match with that one bulk rare everyone thought was shit.
>>48060726
No, they're buy a box promos. You get them whenever you buy a box.
You can do what ever you want with them.
>>48060756
>holding your first mythic in a double sleeve even if it's something shitty like Sphinx of the Final Word
The first booster pack I ever opened had a Foil Balefire Dragon, so that was pretty fun. I still have it. At least it's pretty good in Kaalia or Dragon Tribal EDH.
>>48059983
>>48060008
So when will we have the universe reset or a mass murdering of most of the extra planeswalkers like every other comic book league has done when it gets to big?
>>48060574
Jace dashed his Vaultbreaker
>>48060786
>Foil Balefire Dragon
According to eBay, that's almost $20. Definitely not the worst Mythic you could have gotten from Innistrad.
>>48060372
He could just draft/do prereleases.
>>48060793
When they go to war against New Phyrexia and get absolutely wrecked.
>>48060476
Oh i dont disagree, but i don't have anything left over the years. plus i have no idea how to make the deck have proper synnergy for ayli.
>>48060822
If you draft you at least have a deck. He said he didn't, so unless e gave away all of his draft picks he should have a deck.
>>48060203
She doesn't want to get involved, but the white in her, made her intervene just this one time.
Is she good enough for Modern?
>>48060039
>A new member every block, with a spicy new Oath card to go with it
Fuck's sake. It's like Wizards learns nothing from comics.
Nobody minds adding and taking away throwaway characters at the beginning and end of a block. Having them take an Oath and join Jace and Gideon's special club means they probably will show up again.
If they do, you'll probably have even more planeswalkers involved in the story of a block (this one had six, which is already high) which will mean more focus on them and even less on the plane itself, which defeats the purpose of even visiting the plane. It could get to the point where you could just about put everything in Dominira and nobody would tell the difference.
>>48060818
>pulled a foil archangel's light

>>48059434
Why do you assume you need eldrazi to make use of her ultimate? You know what card is really good when it's totally free? All of them
>>48060897
wonder what happened to writing stories for the plane? i miss the 3 part novels of each plane...
>>48060793
Return to Dominaria, where they fight Nicol Bolas.
>>48060388
Until she gets killed and some rando takes the scrolls and opens them without even knowing what they are.
>>48060756
>trading cards
I collect every card I have and only buy what I need, I'm a bad magic player?
>>48060956
Planeswalkers can't get killed, they're just shunted into a different plane (such exceptions like edgy garruk and special stuff) and besides, taimayo is a wizard.
>>48060388
Can people other than her or other moonfolks read them? What language are they written in?
>>48060970
Nah. You're either a hoarder or have no friends to trade with.

Reading comprehension faggots.
>>48060928
Nobody buys novels. They still release stories for the sets, they're just released online and written by multiple members of the creative team.
>>48061023
>>48060980
Most oldwalkers are dead too.
Venser is dead. Don't remember if Tezz is dead. Pretty sure Vraska's dead. I want to say that Domri Rade is dead too.
Looking back, Vraska might not be dead, but if she is she's a potato.
>>48061063
yes, but its not a series, something that has detail and depth, not a reader's digest short.
>>48061063
Nobody had to buy them, they were included in fat packs.
Also, from time to time before the neowalker era they were actually good.
>>48061067
But planeswalkers can't die. It's literally canon that the player is an oldwalker. So you're telling me a card effect can kill a player?
>>48061067
Tezzeret's last known status is alive, but he was planning to take over Karn's empty throne, and we know he failed to do so.
Vraska is alive, and uninjured, but Jace revealed her existence, compromising her whole "the Unseen" thing she had going.
Domri is alive as far as has been said. He was not involved in the Dragon's Maze in the slightest.
>>48061109
>He things Gerrard and Urza are still alive
Are you FUCKING RETARDED.
>>48061109
I always assumed that was the intended flavor of what Phage the Untouchable or one of Vraska's assassin tokens are doing if they connect with your face.
>>48061109
Planeswalkers could always die, even before the Mending.
>>48061109
They can die, even pre-mending. Old lore states that the first Planeswalker duel in history, waged between Nicol Bolas and some unspecified "Leviathan", ended in Bolas killing his opponent and feasting on the leftovers, taking their power.
>>48061154
Literally who? I started in Theros.
>>48060897
Depends on how they use the characters. Justice league unlimited had a shit load of characters and that worked out fine.
As long as they stick to using 2 maybe 3 members at most after this set things should turn out fine.
>>48061173
That explains why you'd think that. Theros is a special plane with special rules for death. Elspeth's "survival" of her death is an exception, not the rule.
>>48061167
Didn't Urza survive being fucking decapitated?
>>48061169
Old lore like that was hella inconsistent
>>48061176
They can essentially set up multiple 'watches' like the avengers, x force kind deal, hell they can actually do that to bring in a bunch of underused planeswalkers like an x force variant with Sorin, sarkhan, ajani or something. I mean since they are going full comic books might as well do that.
>>48061109
>But planeswalkers can't die.
Tell that to Yawgmoth and Urza. The two combined are responsible for more Planeswalker deaths than any other force in existence
>>48061232
Urza kept all his power in the stones he used for eyes, so his body was inconsequential. That's what you get when you behead a master artificer, but that's a unique case.
>>48058197
What exactly counts as combat damage? I forget the exact rulings so I'm not sure if double strike or trample damage getting through would double your fun.
>>48061285
Double strike counts, since it's effectively two instances of damage.
>>48061285
Trample damage is one instance of damage. It just carries over to the player.
Double Strike is two separate attacks.
