Garruk Relentless - Spoiled
BAM!
Wow is he amazing! Removal on a Green Planeswalker? BAM! He is going to love all the new Werewolf cards, not to mention Master of the Wildhunt, the other great piece of Green removal tech.
The Flip side is even better - a creature tutor for -1?? A great chump blocker on +1???
As for the ultimate - SAY WHAT?????
Cause Overrunning just ins't enough anymore.
Few things worth noting - there is no mechanic on the card that will transform Garruk back into his non-evil self. Once hes transformed, we are free to abuse the hell out of him.
Also, his alter-side seems to be BG, but he has no Black mana symbols. This means he is GOING STRAIGHT INTO OMNATH!
Other notable spoils -
Miss the Tutor ability (Garruk stole it) but the Edict ability is a nice replacement. Her discard ability has been bumped up to be abusable in EDH. Her ultimate is very interesting, kind of like the Black version of Fact or Fiction.
One final thing- she casts on Beleren mana! 3 CMC is a key cast cost with cards like Sun Titan available in all the formats. She only costs B more than a Diabolic Edict! AMAZING!
New Ghost Quarter - AWESOME!
Much better than the Ravnica Block art, which rubbed me the wrong way and even kept it out of some builds I've created. Never again! This thing is is EVERY DECK from now on.
BOOOOO!
and last, but not least -
Oh, WotC went there...
My brain is having trouble figuring out how amazing this card will be in EDH. A UB Zombie themed deck with a Futuresight may be able to spit about an obscene amount of the recently re-animated. Helldozer for 0?
In retrospect, I can see why Skithiryx is a Skeleton.
