I'm torn on replacing Karn Liberated with Kozilek in my Augustin EDH
It feels weird to replace a Planeswalker with a creature, but Karn is pretty much just a distraction while I set up while Kozilek nets me immediate card advantage even if he doesn't live to swing
what do
Ah, yes, quite a conundrum. Unfortunately, I can offer only one solution:
WHY NOT BOTH!?
Because Karn is currently at the top of the deck's curve, and I'm not so sure I can really support both of them since I tend to leave mana open for counters, draw, etc.
Although. Maybe I could cut Stroke of Genius for Kozilek? I don't have a lot of great tutors for X spells, and Stroke would cost 7 CMC to tie with Kozilek's draw 4... Hmm
EDIT: Realized that cutting instant-speed card draw is rarely, if ever, a good idea. DISREGARD THIS POST

For Grand Prix Las Vegas, the players' meeting is at 8AM, correct? So plan to be at the convention center at what? 7:45? 7:30?
Hixus doesn't seem especially great, unless he's a big body too. Fiend Hunter is basically a straight upgrade in terms of ability for 2 less. Maybe if Hixus is a 4/4 or better? Even then, being able to exile a creature before it gets the chance to damage you, or even exile creatures with powerful abilities that nobody wants to attack with, makes me think I'd still rather have Fiend Hunter.

Admittedly, the flavor is pretty cool though.
the fact that you have to get punched in the face, and then they spend a removal on him and they all come back and you spent 5 mana to get a removal spell out of their hand, is awfulllll
Hixus can exile multiple creatures, flash in and kill an attacker, and can also hit Stormbreath.
But yeah, need to see the body.

It's like a combination of Banishing Light and Spear of Heliod. But yeah, probably too cute/conditional to see constructed play - like most of the front-packed rares in those intro decks.

Yeah, the intro pack Rares are rarely (heh) constructed playable.
Also: story implications: dude's name and look (though it's really hard to get a good look at the Art on my phone) feels Therosian. Note that he's a prison warden and Legendary - so probably important to the story.

Was Gideon in JAIL before his Spark ignited?
I'd guess that the intro pack rares are all legendaries that have some relation to that color's planeswalker
i won't lie i've been thinking about what planeswalkers are going to be in bfz and it feels like there's just not enough space
we know gideon is there, he's confirmed
it's gonna be really weird if nissa/kiora isn't there
nahiri has a ton of foreshadowing to show up as a planeswalker...and so does ob nixilis? in a weird way?
ugin and sorin have a vested interest in being present, chandra could justify being there (you know, so we get a red walker at some point in the set)
and all this doesn't even count the characters that come out of left field like ashiok or xenagos or domri or vraska, which would be kind of a bummer to be without?

Well, they'll get 4 total planeswalkers presumably, between BFZ and the followup set. Ugin and Sorin just got printed, so they're "present," same argument for Gideon and Nissa from Origins
Nahiri will probably be in the first set, Ob Nixilis as the "twist" in the second
That leaves 2 spots in BFZ, assuming the typical "3 walkers per large set" deal, which could easily be Kiora and a surprise.
astrobstrdSo full of mercy...Registered Userregular
Did they just walk away from the Garruk story or is he still out there in some explained capacity? Did the planeswalker hunter actually kill any planeswalkers other than the nameless protagonist of Duels 2014?
If they aren't dead, I think a new Tamiyo could be awesome and a new Tibalt would hopefully be hilarious.
Angels can't have sparks because they're mana constructs
*ollies out*
the best thing to do would be to have a character which captures the visual fantasy of an angel, like how tibalt is demonic, without having them actually be an angel
i'd like a spirit planeswalker with similar justification

Hixus seems cool, as long as he's big enough to warrant costing 5 mana.
it's an ad
the fact that you have to get punched in the face, and then they spend a removal on him and they all come back and you spent 5 mana to get a removal spell out of their hand, is awfulllll
but it's a cool design
But yeah, need to see the body.

If the bodies decent, it could be good in Draft.

gideon's 'grown up face' is so goofy on this fat pack
ineedmayo.com Eidolon Journal Updated
but I guess there isn't much alternative since elspeth is dead and we already know ajani's backstory
I assume they're holding nahiri for battle for zendikar

e: there's also totally going to be a new gideon, since he's the face planeswalker
probably RG because there has to be an RG walker in standard at all times

Though I wouldn't argue with a playable mono-black walker.
What are you talking about
ineedmayo.com Eidolon Journal Updated
my dream...
Obnix is probably just better staying mono black, but I wouldn't be against BR I suppose

Tibalt is canonically RB
*pops out*
*ollies out*
I would never joke about Tibalt.

karn has gotten 2 sparks
count it

also hi anti!
i actually think nahiri would fit more as a red splash walker, just from the viewpoint of a wr equipment theme
