Necromagus Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I just thought we'd best continue our discussion here so that the trading card thread won't get derailed too much... So, we finally get Planeswalker cards in Lorwyn, as well as some other interesting stuff... Basic rules for Planeswalkers: - Planeswalkers can be cast at sorcery speed for their mana cost. - Planeswalkers come into play with an amount of loyalty counters on them equal to the number in the bottom right of the card. - Once during your turn, you may use one of the Planeswalker's activiated abilities. The number to the left of the ability is the loyalty cost. - When the Planeswalker's loyalty reaches 0, it is sent to the graveyard. - Planeswalkers may be targeted by spells that target permanents or spells that target Planeswalkers. - During combat, the attacking player may assign creatures to attack the Planeswalker in stead of the defending player. The defending player may block using the standard combat rules. - Whenever a creature attacks a planeswalker and is unblocked, the Planeswalker loses loyalty counters equal to the amount of damage that would be dealt.

kelem_ryu Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 WTF! As i said in the TCG thread, i'm not up to date on magic. So i can't kill this guy using "target creature" spells, but i can kill her with Vindicate or something. I guess Bounces and Counters just got a notch more valuable.. I always thought though that the players are supposed to be planeswalker batteling each other. I had this dispute with a friend of mine. He viewed it as two cultures batteling each other, i viewed it as a wizards contest. I guess my friend is more right atm with the introduction of planeswalker. How many of them are out there? One of each color? uhm.. and do they have summoning sickness? They don't seem very different from normal creatures... They can't attack or block. They are not any closer to being a creature then to being an enchantment. EDIT: Think a bit on it, they seem to be more something for casual gamers and for style. The card you posted basically is just a cheap, powerful spell with three turns delay. You really just need somekind of bounce to disable the threat. True the ultimate is powerful, but the other abilities? A one damage clock for 5 mana, or a single target creature removal for 5 mana. I mean it's nice, but there are certainly stronger cards out there. THen again i don't know anything about the synergies she can be embedded in.

Nanosauromo Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 uhm.. and do they have summoning sickness? Since they can't attack or tap, then no they don't.

ember3579 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I'll assume that the abilities with +# beside them give you loyalty counters? If so, then they look freakin' sweet! You know if the standard healing cards let you "heal" these things? I got a friend who'd put this to GOOD use if so. As well as me. :twisted: You never know which rabbit hole you jump into will lead to Wonderland. - Ember3579Aku Soku Zan. - ShinsengumiYou wanna mess with me or my friends?

meol Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 It's been a looong while since I last played Magic (back from the Mirrodin block), and that looks nowhere near a Magic Card... It's incredible how much it's changed in the last years... :-k This signature is intentionally left blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromagus Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Most of the changes have been cosmetic. Of course the Planeswalker card looks different from regular cards, since it's a new card type. The new card frames in Future Sight were simply because these cards were from 'the future'. A lot of the changes in wording (the most drastic change was probably the introduction of the Aura) are mainly to make the cards easier to understand.

ayden7794 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Im like a super noob to the card game but im not to happy about the planeswalkers. If Im right at all arent the players supposed to be "planeswalkers" and the cards are severaly underpowered for one. Lorwyn seems preety cool though. You've got many survivng 'walkers, no past catastophes as far as we know, and no humans for a change. But now that I think about it they could still decimate your enemy... Whatever good or bad we will see. Edit:whoops some of the stuff Ive mentioned already has been. Get me a whopper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcelBlue Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Me and my friends gave up at the Kamigawa block. Nonetheless, I had this kick-[wagon] Rat deck. Also, what are the +'s and -'s? I've never seen that before. The optimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Devoted12- Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 There is no need to make a new topic for one card game. Just use the overall post for ALL card games. It only has three pages so won't be overwhelmed too much. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
