I prefer silly puns to generic fantasy stuff. Also I'm always down with flavour text that plays up the danger of a 1/2 with no further combat abilities e: "Oh gently caress, two toughness??" - Jace Beleren Irony Be My Shield fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Dec 31, 2015 |

As a planeswalker, to see a "weak" Eldrazi do that is terrifying.

 "Skinning Tendrils"1BB Sorcery Devoid All creatures get -2/-2 until end of turn. If a creature would die this turn exile it instead. ----- Drown in Exile seems pretty needed. Should be pretty useful

 Well, then. Looks like the controlly versions of Jeskai Black and Atarka Red can get hosed. (Read: Get knocked down a peg. But, yeah.) And Rally decks are now dead.

Rally has some counterplay with Husk. It does provide a good way to screw over annoying megamorph boards.

What are some good counters to Planeswalkers? My friend yelled at me because "Emblems are OP Game Ending Bullshit." I'm knew so I didn't really have a counter for that, but I'd like to be able to discuss with him what the "Good moves" are in that situation.

If you are getting off a planeswalker ultimate, they lost the game many turns ago.

I'm knew so I didn't really have a counter for that, but I'd like to be able to discuss with him what the "Good moves" are in that situation. A) Kill the planeswalker B) Pressure the opponent to use the minus ability on the planeswalker so they can't ultimate C) Counter the planeswalker D) Ruinous Path E) Burn spell to the face, redirect it to the walker. E requires some explaining; so when you dome a dude with something like say, lightning strike or wild slash, before it resolves, you are given the option to hit a planeswalker for the associated loyalty if they control one instead of hitting your opponent with the damage. This rule does not apply to life loss, which is very different to damage.

For example, you could play a creature and attack with it. Irony Be My Shield posted:Eh, holding up 4 mana in a blue deck may not be the worst depending on what the commons look like. Yea maybe the'll print an efficient counterspell

It's not unimaginable that there's a 4 mana flash guy or repel or something also 4 mana isn't efficient for a counterspell

If he's running effecient counterspells and a draw engine then that's when I start getting a little nervous.

Something similar could happen again.

Yea I don't actually think its a bad card but I've done super well in BFZ drafts just curving out and running over people who get obsessed with the idea of it being a slow, synergy based format, and forget to draft anything that can actually block. I think people are going to overvalue it a lot, it's insanely slow and a 1/2 body is not relevant since nobody is using scion tokens to beat down without a mass pump spell or something. little munchkin fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Dec 31, 2015 |
