I guessed the wrong U/B walker but I like the way this is going. Certainly a lot better than battle for zendikar block.

Bolas winning, turning Kaladesh into chaos, and using the Gatewatch as his stooges would be a nice turnaround from the previous Gatewatch snoozefests.

Can we set up Bolas to form a Legion of Doom stand-in to oppose the Not-Superfriends.

Only if it leads to nonsensical plots by the villains that are stopped easily, leading into the next block's nonsensical villain plot. Character and plot progression just halts in favor of a monster-of-the-week/block format.

I'm curious how the walkers of this block we haven't seen will shake out. We have a known artifact Walker, a guy who doesn't have a card yet that deals in artifacts, and an antagonist without a card yet that deals in artifacts.

Cliche as it is I'd be down, if only to get some of the walkers they've forgotten about a chance to appear on the semi-reg.

I really want this. Have Bolas, Nahiri, Ob Nixilis, Garruk, Elesh Norn, Emrakul, and Heliod just sitting around a table scheming about destroying the Gatewatch.

It'll probably be all enemy walkers wouldn't it? Ob Nixilis vanished from Zendikar, Nahiri left Innistrad, now we're probably encountering Tezzeret.. smells like a super villain team setup.

The anime is actually pretty close to the manga overall, you can give that a spin to get a vibe. I know you probably know, but no reason to deprive yourself from JoJo's goodness if it's just that.



Matt Tabak is the greatest. And it's still good advice.

It is strictly better than that since you can either use stored energy to do more damage or save up energy if you don't need all/any of the damage. I like the gain/spend energy cards, they have flexibility. I could almost imagine it as a core game mechanic.

It's a lot better than straight-up 3 damage because you either can leave energy up, or you can use more if the creature is a big butt.

Tabak just told LSV to roll over and get pinned and LSV no-sold him into the ground. I could watch more of that.
