    I attended the Gatecrash prerelease tonight... it was my first ever prerelease (first ever sanctioned Magic event actually). I was utterly destroyed, but I enjoyed all of it. I chose Simic as my guild and just basically threw in a bunch of evolve guys and some spells. I think my big problem is...

    Happy holidays, fellow Planeswalkers! I'm currently tweaking my casual (non-standard) green/white proliferate deck. Current strategy is to use token generators (Selesnya Charm, Call of the Conclave, etc) and then put down a Wayfaring Temple, equipped with Fists of Ironwood and keep hitting at...

    Who here has gone to the prerelease? I couldn't go, because I had other commitments...

    You still need the rings, but since Bear Umbra untaps your lands in the middle of your turn, you can use that 4 mana for something else during your first main phase before using it to power the rings during your second. Opens up a few more possibilities IMHO. If I can find time to attend the...

    You just inspired me, sir. Play Magosi and tap for the eon counter, attack with this (again, I suggest Hedron Crabs with Trepanation Blades) and then in the second main phase tap Magosi again for the extra turn. Now we've got more possibilities because this frees up our mana for our first...

    Yeah, they figured people would see the phrase "extra turn" and then freak out before realizing this is not very usable at all. Are you sure? Here's how I see it. Assuming you've got both rings and the amulet on the field already, play Magosi and give it a eon counter. During your next turn...

    Fabricate? Same CMC but it's a sorcery and not a creature, which may or may not be relevant. Sylvan Scrying for lands, but that's green (I don't think there are any land tutor effects in blue).

    Congratulations on your find! :) The first planeswalker I pulled was Liliana of the Veil from the Innistrad set... Has anyone else read any of the novels? I just finished Time Spiral... probably not the ideal first read, but I enjoyed it nevertheless

    Hard for me to say, really. Zendikar was pretty sweet, although I wish Rise of the Eldrazi was more mechanically connected to the first two sets. Innistrad isn't half bad either. Dominaria of course is awesome but last time we were there it was ravaged by slivers, I think... which we'll probably...

    That's the exact reason I stay out of tournament magic entirely; my favorite cards tend to be unsuitable for constructed tournament play and/or aren't standard legal. Vintage is probably the least supported format because it's difficult for Wizards to really profit off a format based on old out...

    The mending was more about limiting the power of planeswalkers in the storyline so they could be more relatable to players (and so they could be printed on cards). As planeswalkers, we were never quite at the power level of characters such as Urza. If anything, the mending brings planeswalkers...

    Form of the Dragon exists, so fair point. They should do more cards like that. Bolas did destroy Ugin the spirit dragon planeswalker, but Ugin had something Bolas wanted, so that doesn't say much.

    I'm not normally an RPer but the setting is interesting. One sorta minor nitpick though: Planeswalkers don't have the ability to shape shift anymore. That was the old planeswalkers like Urza and Serra, in the time before the Mending (the conclusion of Time Spiral block). Back then planeswalkers...

    Serra Avenger is neat because she would ordinarily be costed at 2WW anyway (between Diving Griffin's 1WW and Serra Angel's 3WW). I actually ended up taking Diving Griffin and Serra Angel out of my deck so I could pack more removal and land in it, and it seems to work out fine. By turn 4 I'll be...

    Sure I'll join. I don't play tournaments (not even FNM), I only play with my playgroup so my decks are fairly non-competitive. Currently my favorite deck so far is a blue/white deck built around small flying vigilance guys like Hovermyrs and Serra Avengers backed up with removal (mainly...
