Exile all permanents. Put Urza into its owners library 50,000th from the top. If you draw it, the Phyrexians win.

Feels weird finally seeing an Urza Planeswalker card. It's still charming to me that they treaded so carefully in the original sets with representing planeswalkers so that they're only obliquely represented by weird enchantments. Removes the air of mystery around Urza, who's name was slapped on so much but was w/o his own (real) card. Still neat to see.

he's had a card for over 20 years! :v:



if we're doing old/dead planeswalkers I want Commodore Guff

Looks like all 6 were revealed (Prime, Starscream, Soundwave, Goldbug, Flamewar and Slicer) so no Megatron just yet.

3 you've heard of, and some repaints. True to the IP.

Yeah, they said it's to avoid making transform generic and potentially threaten the copyright.

those cards are so repulsive lol. I think I need to make a stupid rear end cross-branding-themed legacy deck now, just to gross out sweaty people at the lgs or something. I really want to pitch Optimus prime to fow just to be able to say it out loud to another MTG player, dead serious, and make them question their life choices

When he dies as a robot he returns as a truck, which can't go back to robot form without combat damage from your lowest toughness creature getting through.

transform is such a generic word that they can actually weaken their own brand by using it willy-nilly, apparently. it's incredibly stupid, but That's Legalese

It doesn't say "when it dies, transform convert to front side" in its vehicle form

How do they explain making an Urza card that has post-mending power level? Like yeah he's twice as good as other planeswalkers, but that's a lot weaker than the roughly infinity times as strong that he would have been.

Maybe Teferi's presence is loving with even pre-mending sparks. Making Urza less powerful than he "should" be is a good way to accidentally make sure the first Phrexian invasion succeeds. Teferi has spent god knows how much time being all "I can't travel back in time abloo bloo bloo," I can't imagine everything is going to go fine.

You're at a dinky little legacy 1k for some fun on the weekend. Would you guys rather see your opponent put an Optimus Prime, Hero on the stack or a big fuckin Murktide Regent that's coming in with four +1/+1 counters on it? You don't have REB in hand.

Post-mending planeswalkers carry a virus that weakens the power of all planeswalkers the come into contact with.
