@Everyone saying OH MY GOD IT'S BUSTED, please stop and think how OH MY GOD IT'S BUSTED it is outside of WAR-Standard.
Which is to say, not very busted at all. It's average use-case in most games of Magic (even EDH/Casual) is exceedingly low. When it's relevant (i.e. your opponent is randomply plyaing Superfriends.dec) you'll feel like a goddamn super genius but 9 out of 10 times, it probably won't do very much at all. Requires QUITE A LOT of set up and matchup-dependent.
When you stop and think about that, it suddenly seems a LOT less OH MY GOD IT'S BUSTED. In fact...it's perfectly fair at BB (which further hamstrings the number of decks it can easily see play in..)
All in all, a splendid design.
Well part of the OH MY GOD IT'S BUSTED is you can use this in your deck with planeswalkers, that if your opponent has any is a bonus. Which in the same turn basically reads as "Ult your game winning planeswalker". Also it only takes, on average, 1-2 other planeswalkers to ult the recipient planeswalker.
But on the flip-side, you could sac the other two planeswalkers on the battlefield and actually ult Tibalt the same turn which for BBRR on that turn is basically Insurrection.
Well, glad his death got so many cards.
Sad thing is that dack is dead and didn’t even got a card(hope wotc does some shenanigans to revive dack)(he deserves better) (instead of killing Jace, Chandra , liliana, Nissa... they go and kill dack and Gideon that imo are better characters to drive stories(outside of alread opened plots)(that Gideon had))
I just realized this would get a lot of mileage out of Dark Depths. Multiple diviners on the battlefield would mean you could quickly crack the ice for Marit Lage, OR you could simply use this get a few cheeky draws while looking for the normal fast lane methods like Vampire Hexmage or Thespian's Stage.
All Planeswalkers are inherently Mary Sues. They are people who gain supernatural sparks that keep them young, hot, and special forever. Like Twilight Vampires if becoming a vampire occured from pure force of individual specialness.
The elder spell is ridiculous. The planeswalker card type doesn't really need this kind of hate. I think I pass on playing any planeswalker in limited or at least not more than one at time.
Why not? Walkers are just another permanent to destroy.
is it just me or does The Elderspell plus Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God seem bonkers. Like if you can do both on the same turn while there are already two other planeswalkers out from prior turns, then you basically auto win unless they have a legendary creature.
This actually gives Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded a purpose as he is the cheapest planeswalker you can use as fodder for a faster ulting planeswalker, yes even cheaper than Nissa, Steward of Elements.
But on the flip-side, you could sac the other two planeswalkers on the battlefield and actually ult Tibalt the same turn which for BBRR on that turn is basically Insurrection.
