You're garunteed one in a pack, so doesnt that make garruk more likely than any other mythic as hes like one of 20?

not really as you can see you can get transforming cards with other rarity... it  is more likely to get uncommon/common  transforming cards than the new garruk... in fact, i think it is much harder to get this new garruk if it wasn't for the fact that you will surely get one in a box of booster packs...

You have 3 chances of getting a Garruk in your booster.

Rare, flip, and foil.

Not necessarily, the guy who won the prerelease where I played got a box and didn't get a single planeswalker in it, Garruk or Liliana.

You guys are forgeting one important thing! The new garruk is really bad, and probably not playable! Also, i pulled one at the prerelease and traded it for a pro tour miraris wake!

The new Garruk is awesome! Why would you not try to build a deck around it?

new Garruk is awesome. If it makes tokens cheap, I'll love it. Hence my pre-order of 8 lords of lineage/bloodline keepers

Garruk Player: I transform garruk!

Garruk Player: NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me:(-_-;)

4 mana for a 2/2 green wolf? In standard this will die...in extended it will die...in modern...well...um...there are better cards...period.

Now that is my critical pov...as far as my casual pov...yeah he's pretty awesome...I like the deathtouch wolves representing liliana's influence on him...and gives it awesome flavor....

But as far as playability (Competetition wise) 1/5...and flavor 100/5....as far as casual play...he's awesome...but beyond that...meh....

And because I can't resist... The Mind Sculptor Effect....

Random player: But didn't original garruk make a 3/3 for 4?

Me: I know...but WOTC decided it was to OP for standard...and decided to make walkers fail...

Everybody who laments how planeswalkers are now fail: Darn you mindsculptor! Darn you to the HECK!

In response to your Ratchet Bomb, I cast, Naturalize/Glissa's Scorn.

i thought i saw some where they kept their cvc when they transformed. I know you use the front side cvc normally for searching or countering or whatever. I looked on wizards but couldn't find anything one way or the other.

The reason I see Garruk sucking is because he starts at three (lightning bolt kill). And has to go down at least one before he can go up, he is simple too vulnerable for too long. And doesn't his best ability (in my opinion) is his second while transformed, which doesn't offer too much power.

@ Wolfclan: To which I respond by sacrificing the ratchet bomb...thusly making your spell target invalid and pointless...

He's a fun Vorthos, a not-too-dazzling, not-good-enough mythic. If you want to have a hellload of fun, play this card. If you want to win, don't play this card.

How's that for summing it up?

@ Dying

You can't respond to him responding to you tapping your Ratchet Bomb by retapping it.

Once ratchet bomb is sacked its sacked and you cant kill it. The sack is a cost so even if you stacked on removal there would not be anything to target with it. Is this not how it has always been? Forgive me if I am out of line or anything, but this seems like a basic gameplay mechanic...

But if he responded to Jester tapping his ratchet bomb, than it would matter what he did, because the ability would still resolve.

The new Garruk in my opinion is pretty cool, but in the DESIGN OF THE CARD, because in combat its SHAMELESS. The Garruk version that i most like is the Primal Hunter. Much people tell me: You are crazy! Five mana for this...
But in a mono green deck with mana accel, you cast him, +1 Beast token, next turn, -3 DRAW CARDS EQUAL TO THE MOST STRONGER CREATURE YOU HAVE....plus that you make it in GREEN, and continue to put blockers in the board. Good enough for me in casual.
